[Catalyst] Authentication - unix crypt

[Daniel McBrearty]

which bit is a problem?

I have this working AOK at home, don't have the source right in front
of me. But IIRC all we had to do was tell the Auth module to use crypt
...

When I get home I'll post the source. Anyhow, it seems to work out of
the box ... also with passwords that were previously in an apache
style password file, that have been moved into the db.

when you store the password, just pass crypt 'xx', $password to the db ...
