I'm using a vanilla GNATS 4.0 installation on a Solaris 5.9 box. For some reason, MD5 encryption isn't working for me, so I'm trying standard UNIX crypt() encryption. I'm rather perplexed at the statement in Appendix C of the gnats documentation, which states that "crypt() passwords can be generated by using standard UNIX passwords tools". What tools are these (and do you have any examples of how I can use them)? I've tried using the UNIX crypt command and both perl and python's crypt function (which, of course, generate the same answer for the same password/salt combo, though the crypt command output is just plain weird). i.e.: python -c 'import crypt; print crypt.crypt("password","salt")' perl -e 'print crypt("password", "salt"), "\n";' The output from both of these functions looks fine (to my untrained eye), but when I put this data into the gnatsd.user_access file, GNATS won't let me in. I have verified that plaintext passwords work. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
