Hello... Isn't the salt value derived from two sources within the system instead of from a `random' source? I have always been under the impression that the salt on a Unix system is a 12-bit value derived from both the current system time as well as the current process number which is running the salt determinating program... Cheers! Brian - a.k.a. Moriarty
The salt is just a 12 bit random number, the attached script will convert a password to something suitable for your password file.
