You just need to call the standard crypt() function with the apropriate arguments. You can use perl or python or C or whatever to do it. e.g.: $ python Python 2.1.1 (#1, Nov 11 2001, 18:19:24) [GCC 2.95.4 20011006 (Debian prerelease)] on linux2 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import string >>> import random >>> import crypt >>> saltchars = string.uppercase + string.lowercase + string.digits + "./" >>> s = [] >>> for i in range(8): ... s.append(random.choice(saltchars)) ... >>> salt = "$1$" + string.join(s, "") >>> passwd = "Password" >>> print crypt.crypt(passwd, salt) $1$e6TSyRDd$OcJO4kuY0I/mLED6n.tNi1 -- Michael Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
