Unix crypt

Sri
Hi

I am trying to match a user password provided by a user on an ASP.NET web form with a Unix encrypted password stored in a Sybase database table. I know I cannot use MD5, SHA1, etc as the password is stored encryted in Unix, I guess crypt(). Is there a special Dll that I can use to convert the password into a Unix encrypted string value and then match the two values?

I am using ASP.NET, C#

Thanks

Sri.

I'm curious how these two functions work together (when crypt() uses a md5 algo). Currently I know they will produce different output; is this due to the salt being used behind-the-scenes in md5()? Is there a way to allow crypt() and md5() to produce identical output or am I misunderstanding the purpose of both the functions. Thanks

I want to use a crypt function to store crypted passwords. These will be used to verify mail-user access. Now the crypt() function from the module crypt is only significant for the first 8 characters. But I need more significant characters. I found the md5 and sha modules. But they work different from the crypt module. But it doesn't seem to be compatible. I need the way crypt works with a salt to verify the password. So my real...

OK, I've Googled for this and cannot seem to quite find what I need. So, I turn to the Gentle Geniuses here for help. Here is what I need to do from within a script: Given a username and a password (plain text): 1) Validate that the password is correct for that user *without actually logging in*. 2) If the password is valid, return a list of all the groups the user belongs to. Otherwise, return some error string.

I have just finished porting and debugging a publicly available crypt(3) function as is used by Unix. I have ported it to a Managed C++ Class Library that can be used but such languages as vb.net, c#.net etc.. Can anyone tell me of any site that allows "sharing" of such components? I would like to make it publicly available to anyone looking for such an item.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
