What I guess is most confusing to me is that there are three pieces of information: the raw password, the salt, and the encrypted password. Now, in the MD5 scheme, the salt is stored with the encrypted password ($1$salt$enc_password). However, in the crypt() scheme, there is no specified way to store the key, so, how is that done? Thanks for the try, though. I can resort to that if needed, but I'd rather not if there is a simpler way.
