Greetings,

Over the past few months, I've been in the process of dealing with sql files, 
playing with web users and the like, in the ultimate effort to create a user 
database that is intertwined with web and telnet users (eventually).

In doing so, however, I've run across a few problems with crypt(), or maybe 
it's just that I don't understand crypt all that well (either way it's a 
problem).

The file gets written to the database (sql), rather well, but i can't figure 
out which version of encryption is used to figure rom passwords out. Is this 
system crypt? md5? custom? 

If it's custom, is there a way to take this password, decrypt it (without 
having to use plain passwords), in order for it to be encrypted, or thrown 
into the database so that php/sql can recognize it somehow, or is this pretty 
much out of the question?
