Can you run these commands on your AIX and post their output, please?

time perl -e '$p = "{ssha512}04$................"; print crypt("", $p), "\n"; for ($n = 0; $n < 100000; $n++) { $c = crypt($n, $p); print "$n $c\n" if ($c =~ /\.\.\.[^\$]*$/); }'

time perl -e '$p = "{ssha512}06$................"; print crypt("", $p), "\n"; for ($n = 0; $n < 100000; $n++) { $c = crypt($n, $p); print "$n $c\n" if ($c =~ /\.\.\.[^\$]*$/); }'

time perl -e '$p = "\$6\$................"; print crypt("", $p), "\n"; for ($n = 0; $n < 100000; $n++) { $c = crypt($n, $p); print "$n $c\n" if ($c =~ /\.\.\.[^\$]*$/); }'

In case there are any issues with shell escaping here, please run the
commands in bash (I tested the last of the three in bash on Linux).

These commands may take a few minutes to complete (about 6 minutes for
the last command here).

I am interested in both output from the Perl one-liners and the output
from "time" (duration and CPU usage).  If possible, run these under no
or light other load.

I am hoping that AIX's custom algorithm is available via crypt(3) and
thus via Perl's crypt() as well, but I am not sure of that.  If this
fails, we'll have to look for the right function to call...

Thanks,

Alexander
