Note Submitter: kb at -NOSPAM-diggersdive dot info ---- It is likely that the php version of crypt() interfaces relatively directly with the C-library crypt() function, usually contained in libcrypt. Depending on your implementation and the default salt, you may or may not get the same crypt'd password out of eight characters as you would a longer string starting with those same eight characters. See crypt(3) on your system for more documentation on how it works based on different encryption types.
