<< Thanks for the suggestion. However, it appears that IHASH cannot help here. The Linux system uses DES (Data Encryption Standard) based encryption system using "salt" as a way of randomizing the resulting text that is one-way encrypted so that the encrypted text cannot be decrypted back to the original text. >>
IHASH can help you if you roll your own one-way encryption (you can salt the input yourself before hashing it). If you need complete compatibility with the Linux function, you'll need to call a DLL function. If crypt() is required by POSIX compatibility then it may be built in to Windows already. -- Larry
