dovecot - Jun 2007 - SSHA salt?

Hi there,

I was wondering if someone could explain how dovecot/dovecotpw produces salt 
for use in ssha passwords, I'd like to replicate this in PHP so I can write 
my passwords from php in ssha instead of just sha1.

Thanks in advance,

Andrea Baitis

Nevermind,

I figured out it's how I generate the salt that matters.

Thanks anyway.
