You don't want the same SALT as already used in vpasswd. SALT is intended to be different every time a password is created / encrypted and only reused for _checking_ the password by password checking routines as vchkpw. The SALT the given PHP-functions use is build the same way vpopmail does: '$1$' + 5 random characters + '0' So syntactically and functionally password generated by example PHP functions are equal to vpopmail-encrypted passwords. > also tell me about " SEGMENTATION FAULT" What to tell you about 'segmentation fault'??? Read yourself what a 'segmentation fault' is: http://www.c-for-dummies.com/lessons/linux/01/ Why 'vmkpasswd' generates this segmentation fault? /I don't know/. After you've read the document above you'll probably understand why there ain't a 'Formular F()' answer. You did not even wrote what version of vpopmail you're using, so maybe this is already fixed in a newer version?!? Who knows. Additionally I asked you to do a 'strace' call. I've seen no output yet, hard to tell you what _might_ go wrong. Next question is: you seem to change passwords from webserver. Are you sure access permissions are correct and webserver user is allowed to 1.) change 'vpasswd' ? 2.) call vmkpasswd to generate vpasswd.cdb ? Remember: only 'root' and 'vpopmail' are allowed to write to 'vpasswd.cdb', so if your webserver is e.g. running as 'nobody' you can't succeed without using 'sudo' mechanisms. If all fails and you're unable to debug and break it down to a concrete cause of error: don't generate passwords your self, don't write them to vpasswd and don't run vmkpasswd manually. Write a wrapper script that calls 'vpasswd' directly via 'sudo' mechanism. Syntax for calling 'vpasswd' is vpasswd <e-mail-address> <password> So to change password for '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to 'john_doe-foo_bar' the syntax is: vpasswd [EMAIL PROTECTED] john_doe-foo_bar -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
