Hi all!

I've been trying to find a Mac OS X version of the crypt UNIX command without much success. I have only been able to find some scripts but not the real crypt CLI command. Also, I run into troubles when compiling various sources of this command avalaible on the net.

Do you guys know where I should look to find a crypt command which behave as the traditionnal UNIX version does?

Thanks,

One solution would be to use htpasswd, which produces crypt-compatible hashes.

Code:
[dshaw@flybook ~] htpasswd 
Usage:
        htpasswd [-cmdps] passwordfile username
        htpasswd -b[cmdps] passwordfile username password

        htpasswd -n[mdps] username
        htpasswd -nb[mdps] username password
 -c  Create a new file.
 -n  Don't update file; display results on stdout.
 -m  Force MD5 encryption of the password.
 -d  Force CRYPT encryption of the password (default).
 -p  Do not encrypt the password (plaintext).
 -s  Force SHA encryption of the password.
 -b  Use the password from the command line rather than prompting for it.
On Windows, TPF and NetWare systems the '-m' flag is used by default.
On all other systems, the '-p' flag will probably not work.
