The encrypt function on 3B20 is not DES, but the crypt IS. Or is ALMOST and I'm looking for a true/refined DES alg. The crypt has two elements one of which is 'salt' which "is used to disrupt the DES alog. in one of 4096 differant ways... (I figure 4096 is a-zA-Z0-9./ set ^2 for probability). Now does anyone know what the do to it when they "perturb it" or what I reallly need is a salt thats has no effect so I can encode w/ it w/o worry of losing all my data 8^]... I realize this isn't REALLY a bug but this is the only sys5 net I know of... mail or post if anyone has any suggestions... -Thanks in advance.... -tk Rebel w/o a job... *********************************************************** * Tod Kuykendall ************* cp420 @ sdcc15 ********** ****************************** UC San Diego ************** *********************************************************** * It's not the despair, I can stand the despair.... * * IT'S THE HOPE!!! * ***********************************************************
