crypt(3), where?

[Klaus Harbo]

I have a colleague who would very much like to get his hands on the 
algorithm used by UNIX to encrypt passwords. He needs t know precisely how 
the "salt" is chosen and so on.

Could anyone direct me to relevant articles on that subject? If C code is
available somewhere which isn't covered by AT&T's license, I would to 
know that as well.

Please answer by e-mail. Thanks!

Klaus.
