I yesterday tried, for the first time, to use the nsperm
module and it's associated passwd/perms files.  Reading
the docs, it says that one can either use the bin/nspasswd
program or cut and paste an encrypted password from the
system passwd file.   Well, there is no bin/nspasswd
program in any of the aolserver builds I have.   I find
some references on the web to a ns_passwd module for
encrypting passwords within the server, but nothing outside.
When I copy from the system passwd file, the '$' characters
in the md5 encrypted passwords there goof the nsperm
module up, and it fails to load.  I even tried to remove
the $1$ md5 marker at the beginning, but '$' within the
passwords still messed it up.

I suppose it wants DES or some other encryption type there,
any clues/tips on what it wants, and how to get it quickly
(without writing a program)?
