[pmwiki-devel] crypt problem on WAMP

[Peter Bowers]

I am having difficulty with some authorization code on a WAMP server
and wondering if anybody can shed light...

Here's what I've got in my config.php right now (minus comments):

$hash0 = crypt('abc'); // as (:encrypt abc:) would output
$hash2 = crypt('abc', $hash0); // as encrypted as part of Site.AuthForm login
$hash3 = crypt('abc', $hash2); // ditto
$hash4 = crypt('abc', $hash3); // ditto
echo "local config: <br>\nhash0=$hash0,
<br>\nhash2=$hash2<br>\nhash3=$hash3<br>\nhash4=$hash4<br>\n";

and here's what it outputs:

local config:
hash0=$1$Nm2.Sh4.$I/N20HxaAHHWIk0Yx75cc0,
hash2=$1$Nm2.Sh4.$TY4dd776IXYNbcfXDoONx.
hash3=$1$Nm2.Sh4.$Jb4Co57IMoIAc.Yut.l/J.
hash4=$1$Nm2.Sh4.$4hdZM5bSNnZrP8bDOXq0q1

Note that the salt is identical, but the resulting crypted code is
different between hash0 and the rest.  Obviously this results in the
password being stored in SiteAdmin.AuthUser (which is generated like
hash0 is generated) does not match the passwords crypted from
Site.AuthForm (which are generated as hash2 and etc. are generated).
(At different points during my testing hash2-4 have been identical,
but always different from hash0.)

Eemeli tried this on linux servers and it results in identical hashes
between hash0 and the rest (as expected).  Any idea what could cause
the WAMP server to do otherwise?
