To place credit where credit is due, I don't know where I got the four
lines responsible for creating the salt.

@passset = ('a'..'z');   
        for ($i = 0; $i < 2; $i++) {
                $randum_num = int(rand($#passset + 1));
                $salt .= @passset[$randum_num];
        }
$htpass = crypt($Form{'np'}, "$salt");
