Regarding the comments above by icecube@fr.fm:
It is *NOT* necessary (in my experience) to use the first two characters of your password as the
salt in order to generate .htaccess-based authentication with DES (and in fact it seems rather silly
to prefix a plain-text portion of the password to the encrypted value). At least that is what
I've found in my experiments under Linux/Apache.
If you're doing any matching yourself, just make sure you crypt() the match string using the
same salt as the encrypted string.
