Hi,

you can always go with the UNIX crypt() function. That works pretty well ;).
Things get more complicated if you want to be able to decrypt the password again.
There is a clear distinction when it comes two one-way or two-way encryption.
But usually, one-way does it. Actually, Oracle does the same.
