Unix passwords use what is known as DES which is a 'one-way' encryption scheme so if this is for system password encryption, I'd recommend you use Crypt::DES or Crypt::Blowfish if you use OpenBSD though the crypt function in perl is suitable for encrypting small amounts of data like passwords. http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Crypt-DES http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Crypt-Blowfish http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Crypt-CBC Also, DES has been replaced with AES or Rijndael as the new 'Federal Standard' which you might find interesting http://csrc.nist.gov/encryption/aes/ e. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
