Hi,

it would be nice if it were possible to preseed encrypted passwords.=20
Please also provide a fat warning, that this still isnt really secure - it'=
s=20
only more secure than plaintext passwords.

<bubulle> I also intend to deal with the suggestion to preseed the password=
s=20
with encrypted values
<h01ger> preseeding encrypted passwords is better of course, but also gives=
 a=20
false sense of security. so please also add a warning like "r00tme" :)


regards,
 Holger
