You mentioned passwords? The way to verify a password is correct
against the crypted version is to use the crypted version as the salt.
If, when using the crypted version as the salt, you get the same string
back, it's the correct password.
if the crypted version of "string" is
11111111
then, crypt ("string", "11111111") will give you "11111111"
that do it for you, or do you need something you can decrypt and
display?
