I thought the idea of the salt was to aid in expanding the
keyspace. Even though the salt is known (in traditional Unix
passwd/shadow/master.passwd databases,
I am pretty sure the intent the salt is to make pre-computation of a
dictionaries infeasable due to storage requirements. It doesn't really add
to the keyspace because the salt is known and doesn't have to be guessed.
