ns_crypt

ns_crypt(3aolserver)					    AOLserver Built-In Commands 				      ns_crypt(3aolserver)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       ns_crypt - commands

SYNOPSIS

       ns_crypt key salt
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       ns_crypt  encrypted  the  key,  also  known as the password, using the salt and returns the result.  It uses the same algorithm as the unix
       crypt command.

       The result from ns_crypt is a 13-character string.  The first two characters correspond to the salt, and the  remaining	eleven	characters
       correspond to the password encrypted with the specified salt.

       The password is a string (typically that of a password to be used for nscp and/or nsperm authentication).

       salt  should  be  two characters, typically from the set [a-zA-Z0-9./].	If the empty string is specified as the salt then ns_crypt returns
       the empty string.  If a string longer than two characters is specified for the salt it is truncated to two characters.  If a one  character
       salt is provided the output will appear to have a two-character salt (the single character repeated), however, the encrypted value does not
       correspond to the same password being encrypted with the equivalent two character salt.	(As a result sticking with a two character salt is
       highly recommended.)

       Input to ns_crypt is case-sensitive.
