Re: [PHP-DB] Unix crypt

Salt is the first two characters in a DES-encrypted
password. It is used as a modifier to
regularly-encrypted passwords to avoid the same
encryptions for similar passwords. You must extract
the salt first for your reference password, then use
it as a salt to encrypt the password you want
compared.
