Are passwords crypted with the "crypt" function on UNIX "breakable"? I have another situation where I originally setup POP passwords using crypt, and would like to go to plain text, as my clients always forget their passwords, and I have to just reset it to a new one. So, if you know of any way to "uncrypt" please let me know. (If you'd feel better emailing me privately, feel free.)
