Hi all,

Is anyone aware of a port of crypt(3) to some VisualBasic code?


I have an interface that needs to interface (via UDP socket) to a Linux host where it will authenticate. The passwords on the Linux side are encrypted using crypt(3) so I want to be able to use the same algorithm on the Windows side and send the crypt'ed password to the Linux side to compare the strings, thus authenticating.

I've had a search and not found a port of crypt(3) to VB but just thought I'd ask in case someone else knows different.

Thanks in advance,
David.
