Hi list,

To make a single sign on solution I was thinking of using Samba and
Courier-imap. Both of theese should use a MySQL backend to look up password
and other information about the user. Both of theese applications works
great by itself but I would like them to use the same password field in the
database and Courier-imap doesn't seem to support the microsoft way of
encrypting passwords. 

I found out that:
"The Windows NT hash is created by taking the user's password as represented
in 16-bit, little-endian UNICODE and then applying the MD4 (internet
rfc1321) hashing algorithm to it. "

What kind of encrytion does the authdaemon.mysql support? I know it likes
MD5 hashes....

Would it be possible to add a feature to Courier-imap that makes it read MD4
hashes??

Thank you!

Kind Regards,
Anders
