I think what you need to know is that the stored passwd field is formed thus: 'md5' || md5(password || username); Substitute this for your crypt() call and you're set. Don't think you need the separate step to extract salt (you didn't need it before either, really). regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
