[ale] Passwd replacement

[Chris Fowler]

crypt() can handle MD5 passwords.  You just haev to use a format for  the
salt.  Replace <salt> below with your salt;


char salt[6];
char *password;
strcpy(salt, "$1$<salt>";
password=crypt("PASSWORD", salt);

Don't use the code.  It is just to show an example.  with MD5 you will no
longer be limited to 8 character password.

Greetings,

Is there an MD5 version of crypt()?  What I want to do is setup a ftp
password file that's seperate from the system password file to allow login
to a wu-ftpd server.  I'm trying to add users and change passwords via a
cgi-script(www).
