 Yes, with crypt(3) the salt is precisely the first two characters.

_If_ you use the old crypt() semantics. If you provide a salt
starting with '$1$' it will give you MD5-hashed password.

Subject: Salt for /etc/shadow and passwd?


 Hi!

 I was wondering where the salt is stored on a debian linux system...?

 I want to cp /etc/shadow from one server to another for simplicity, and
I
 would rather not have to regenerate all the crypted passwords over
again.

 So... if I can make the salt for both servers the same then that SHOULD
 work, right?

 Well, thanks in advance!

 Sincerely,
 Jason
