A salt starting with $1$ is md5, $6$ is SHA512. > INSERT INTO `servermail`.`virtual_users` > (`id`, `domain_id`, `password` , `email`) > VALUES > ('1', '1', ENCRYPT('firstpassword', CONCAT('$6$', > SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16))), 'email1@example.com'), > I want to format this query correctly. I think this isn't quite right, because the salt has to end with a $ according to the man page for crypt. I think you want CONCAT('$6$', SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16),'$')) but I could be wrong. -- Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress There is no Darkness in Eternity But only Light too dim for us to see. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
