No way matey - I have used UNIX distributions where the username / password was stored in plain text. I refer to Ultrix in the mid to late 1980's. UNIX may be secure now, but in early days it was anything but secure. By contrast VMS was far ahead, as were the IBM offerings. Windows NT / 2K etc. is derived from VMS.
