It would be better to export an API that is (a) less random (why one input null-terminated and the other not?) and (b) less tightly tied to MD5 --- the fact that the caller knows how long the result must be is the main problem here. Something like char *pg_gen_encrypted_passwd(const char *passwd, const char *user) with malloc'd result (or NULL on failure) seems more future-proof. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
