I was wondering this too while parsing htpasswd files in php. all others have a identified in front to see what encrypt it used... Why doesn't crypt have one?
Because why would anyone have a passwd file that doesn't use crypt()? Have to remember htpasswd followed the passwd shadow file, and that was always using crypt. Nobody at the time foresaw a reason to do anything else. The identifier tags came later. Why plain didn't gain an identifier tag is beyond me. Bill
