Re^5: Find and replace MD5 hash from file

[philipbailey]

This is the format of adroc's output from "makepasswd": "$1$" + base64-encoded string (a salt) + "$" + another base64-encoded string (the hashed password). No quotes there.

The source for makepasswd on my system is available here: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/makepasswd. After examining that code, I can't see anything that disagrees with what I said. And this is a standard format, so some other "makepasswd" should produce the same output.

And? Did you actually read what I posted? I told him he would have to quote single quote if there's a possibility they are used. Nothing you are saying contradicts that.

In fact, you are trying to chastise me for mentioning extra work might be needed when you don't even know that the extra work isn't needed. ("I believe this is the format").

If you want to point out that the extra work isn't needed in this circumstance, fine. But you haven't done that yet.

I'm saying I have domain knowledge of the format, and that it never contains quotes. I also gave you a URL providing the makepasswd code as evidence. Have you read that?

Thanks for the info.

Why would I? It wouldn't support or contradict anything you or I said.
