Hmm... you might be a little right on that and a little wrong on that.

We have:
- crypt() - Hashes a password
- compare() - Compares a password against pre-hashed data

The user system was the same:
- User::crypt() - Hash a password
- User::comparePasswords() - Compares a password against pre-hashed data

In our system 'crypt' has only referred to that first hashing of data. Not to
the comparison.

I suppose it could be mixed up when you throw in crypt(3) which acts
simultaneously as both crypt() and half of compare() depending on how many
arguments you give it.
