The following is a piece of code that I use for a primitive password encoding scheme in my BBS software: encodepw(pw,name) char *pw,*name; { char i,ii; ii=0x15;i=0; while (*pw) { if (i>strlen(name)) i=0; *pw=*pw^(0x1f & name[i++])^(i++); *pw=*pw-5; if (*pw<'!') *pw=*pw+32; if (*pw==':') *pw='$'; ++pw; } } here is the output from input: name="Username", passwd="password" output from cc code: "_bstyvoj" output from gcc code: "`atszupi" note that the gcc code is make each character of the output 1 less numerically. Anybody have any suggestions. Also, I compiled the same code on an AT&T 3B15 running SYSV R3.1.1 and the results were the same as from cc on SCO. My conclusion is that gcc has a bug. -- ==================================================== Jay A.
