It may be working, but the above code looks wrong to me.
You declared a variable named 'salt' of type char that is two bytes in
size. Then you try to stuff 5 bytes of data ("abcde") or more likely 6
bytes of data ("abde" & \0) into the variable using strcpy. It may work,
but some compilers may let you accidentally overwrite memory this way,
giving you undefined funky results.
