If you are looking to hash passwords so users can login to a web interface, you probably want the
function hash() function http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.hash.php
with something like SHA256 or SHA512 for good security.
This crypt function is a relic of old style Unix password authentication and does weird stuff like
prepend the salt to the hash, which isn't very handy.
