Why don't you store the hashed value instead?
actually it's not me - it's the punBB forum SW
( http://docs.punbb.org/dev.html#dbtables )
against which I want my libpq-program to authenticate.
And additional reason is that I could change my salt string
if I wanted and the users could still authenticate without
changing their passwords
