we - for shure don't do md5(salt+password).
We are using crypt of an overall used unix library[1]
It's what you get using mysql "encrypt", what's stored in your 
/etc/shadow for unix shadow passwords, etc...


There always will be a better way or another... even this library is 
extended time by time... So since we need to get it portable this is the 
most portable way ever.

First of all we currently do in fe plain storage and in be md5 storage, 
so there is a big improovement.

Second I personally think, on this library most of system 
authentification of the servers we host TYPO3 in is based, their 
mailservers, mysql auth etc. If you consider this not to be secure 
enough, or want more security in TYPO3, the websoftwaret is not your 
problem but the server...
