Using the right crypt function under Linux, perhaps.  The crypt function
is defined to return the encrypted password.  Using DES, this is always
13 characters, including the salt.  Hint: Download the sources of the
Cygwin crypt package and compile the tiny crypt.c tool under Linux (needs
minor tweaking.  Replace `#include "encrypt.h"' by `#include <unistd.h>').
