How is the password hash generated? I'd like to use the users list for another portion of my site?

Thanks!

using PHP's md5() function
see DATA_DIR/src/users_reg.inc.t

no salt used though .. perhaps this could/should be an admin config option?

Why would you need a salt? First of all md5 is much more secure then crypt() which you are thinking of and does not support/require a salt.

The password is md5 of the user's original password.

I did mean md5() , e.g. I meant salt the supplied plaintext password ... but yes its pointless anyway in this case , guess I need sleep ....

but I got the answer right at least Very Happy
