Not possible I'm afraid!

The server cryptkey will be different for each password server. The client
uses it to encrypt the password. The resulting 24 byte hashed password
is only any use to the server that generated the cryptkey.

It is split into two functions because one of the functions has to be
called before the client sends the password, and one after.
