Well, technically MD5 hashes are binary, but they're typically encoded as base64 or hex. The hashes used in /etc/shadow and .htpasswd files use the "crypt()" method, which uses MD5, though it runs through a variety of iterations of a quite convoluted algorithm and converts it to ASCII with a non-standard base64 encoding. However, it seems like Alec's suggestion of using mod_auth_pam has been overlooked. Here are suggestions for using it with the /etc/shadow file: http://pam.sourceforge.net/mod_auth_pam/shadow.html -- Matthew Good <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [1] http://trac-hacks.org/browser/accountmanagerplugin/0.9/acct_mgr/md5crypt.py _______________________________________________ Trac mailing list [email protected] http://lists.edgewall.com/mailman/listinfo/trac
