Subject: [ale] Grub password

So we know that we can use grub-md5-crypt to generate a grub passwod.  The
hash is then generated as such:  $1$[seed]$[hash].  In perl we can generate
something similar by using &quot;$hash=crypt([password],[seed]);&quot;, where seed is
&quot;\$1\$xxxxxx&quot;.

However, if you use the perl generated hash, the password wont work in grub.
Does any know why that is?  I'm trying to automate a grub password
installation with perl.
