ERRORS
ENOSYS The crypt function was not implemented, probably
because of U.S.A. export restrictions.
If the salt starts with $1$ an MD5 based password hashing <-****** Here
algorithm is applied. The salt should consist off $1$ fol
lowed with eight characters.
Programs using this function must be linked with -lcrypt.
