Using encrypted passwords in users file

[Paul Bartell]

that is the hashed password. You can change it by generating a hash of
your new password... you would probably use crypt(3) to do that... The
original password was never stored in cleartext form. You could store
a cleartext password if you really wanted to, but that is less than
secure.
