> This random alphanumeric string is know as the SALT, correct?

Honestly, you got me there, I'm not sure what SALT is unless your
talking the condiment.  My random alphanumeric string is to be used
as a key for encryption of other data in the system.  If your only need
is to encrypt the user passwords, then this random alphanumeric
string is of no benefit to you.
