Obtain the encrypted password from the password file (getpwent)<BR /><BR />2. Obtain the password from the user. Encrypt the user-supplied password using the same salt as was used with the encrypted password. (crypt)<BR /><BR />3. Do a simple string comparison of the two encrypted pwds. If they're equal, they're the same password; otherwise, the user entered the wrong password.<BR /><BR />HTH;<BR /><BR />Doug<BR /><BR /> Wed, 17 Aug 2005 08:00:43 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/password-checking/m-p/3605544#M104163 Doug O'Leary 2005-08-17T08:00:43Z
