Re: MD5 Passwords?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A while back someone posted this function that returns an MD5-encrypted password. There may be a better way to do it: function MakeEncPw($strPW) { // Returns an MD5 encrypted password // First we need 8 random charaters to fit between $1$...$ $strMidMd5 = substr(crypt($strPW),0,8); // Create the MD5 hash $strMd5 = "$1$".$strMidMd5."$"; // Now create the encrypted password return (crypt($strPW,$strMd5)); } On Wed, 20 Dec 2000, Devin Atencio wrote: > > I run FreeBSD which uses MD5 passwords and I was wondering how I could have > my php4 > script create an MD5 password that the FreeBSD system would accept.
