Note Submitter: tserong at sgi dot com ---- Blowfish doesn't use a sixteen character salt, it uses sixteen *bytes* of salt. So (courtesy of the docs for the Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt Perl module), it's: "$2", optional "a", "$", two digits, "$", and 22 base 64 digits If the salt is not long enough, crypt will return "*0" and you will have no idea what is wrong. Interestingly, the example in the documentation with a trailing '$' in the salt does not work. Replace the '$' with a '.', and the output appears as advertised.
