Hi all,

Two questions....

    I have been reading as much as I can find on paswwd, master.passwd,
shadow, crypt etc etc etc. and am Still stuck on one point. If the encrypted
password is normally aslways different, due to 'salt', then how does one get
a match??

    Does anyone have posession of a simple PHP script that can auth against
the master passwd file?
