It seems that crypt() doesn't work correctly with non-alphanumeric
salts.
main()
{
printf ("%s\n", crypt ("dork", "B$"));
}
The result from NetBSD: B$PCRvVbyopZc
The result from others: B$nCWoDwQadXI
However, if you use an alphanumeric salt:
main()
{
printf ("%s\n", crypt ("dork", "B4"));
}
The result from NetBSD: B4.H1Menh1vrc
The result from others: B4.H1Menh1vrc
Can anyone tell me where the source for the REAL libcrypt.a is? I
was able to find the source for the dummy.
Thanks!
Kevin
