Subject: Re: md5_gen ... again

Ok, I'll try that.

If it can help you, the previous version of john (1.7.7 + jumbo + other
patches) with the patch you gave me for salts beginning with "$" and "$$"
was working great with formats using the userid such as the one I gave on
the mailing list.
Before scripting it to the conf file, I used to maintain a thin format
linking to md5_gen functions and those one are still working.
