Re[2]: Security: interesting reading.

If you are this concerned about password security then maybe you should
investigate other identification methods - such as two factor authentication
which cycles every 60 seconds.

It looks like that article describes exactly what happened on this list last
month where one of our subscribers posted their encrypted PW and it was
decrypted by leif@ibm.net

Leif said he could compromise the password database, but never proved it.
Personally I feel that the database is safe, but my main concern would be
hackers sniffing the wire for a security officer logon, then decrypting the
password. Kinda like L0phtcrack for the 400...
