C2 password encryption

Hello,
 I'm looking for a procedure converting the plaintext password to the
auth-entry password string under C2. The DEC OSF/1 Enhanced Security
manual seems to be quite obscure on this issue. What it says is that
the password is encrypted using the crypt(3) routine in 8-characters
blocks. What is does not say is which salt is used in encyphering all
blocks but the first one. I tried using the same salt and the last two
characters from the previous block -- neither works.

Does anyone know of any pointer?

Thanks,
Andrew
