Hi, I'm using Courier on OpenBSD. Can I use crypt-hashed passwords
with Courier? I have an old machine (with many users) I want to
migrate over to Courier and a MySQL backend. This server has
passwords hashed from crypt().
Thank you,

Yes, this works just fine (OpenBSD).
I did this some years ago, exactly, with a MySQL authentication setup.
Good to hear! So in authmysqlrc I use
MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD crypt
Now what of the passwords in MySQL? For MD5 I believe a password
should look like:
{MD5}passwordhash
Where passwordhash is created like:
$ echo password | userdbpw -md5
For crypt I can generate passwordhash:
$ echo password | userdbpw
but what about the password in MySQL?

Juan,
You would use the generated 'crypt' password in that field.
Here is an example (from a phpMyAdmin browse) record entry:
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
a8EbXixSSlcrA |
nju7xfr4 |
1002 |
1002 |
/usr/Maildirs/XXXX/users/d.murphy |
NULL |
10485760S |
|
The value: nju7xfr4 is the actual clear text password, but using
'crypt' the result is: a8EbXixSSlcrA
I set my authmysql to use (read) the 'crypt' field; but, I like to be
able to refer to the clear text
for those times when a client 'forgets' their password.
