Yes, password files are STILL not encrypted... But I already have ported my
software to OSK to fix this.  And maybe I can work a deal to get a version of
it released with the MM1.  Listening Paul?

The password file I am running is currently pr, (but can be -pr if you want)
and yet does not pose any security problems for users other than group 0.

My library with handling routines for all this *will* be made PD very soon, as
I am quite satisfied that it is working properly.

As a side note, I am also working on a .dat type password with indexes for
username and realname that will make lookups of users faster when you have over
1000, as my CoCo3 system right now is having difficulty with.

Would you like to B-test the sw?
