From the 1.1 srcdist I've got, it appears that 1.1 libcrypt sources call MD5 routines, yet there are references to the need for DES routines in the libc crypt.. Confusion reigns, could someone help me identify the actual default/original passwd encryption routines used by 1.1.5.1-RELEASE, with what src distrib they're in, etc? > It may well be that you can write a perl script to descramble the > puppies and then re-DES or MD5 encrypt them. Now _that_ would be fantastic! If such a script already exists, then I'm sure there's more than myself who could use it. But if not, then the info above will help me track down the actual routines & I'll see what reverse engineering can be done to unscramble these puppies ;) Thanks, Rich.
