I would have to agree with the idea of passwords not being visable.
However, in our situation and maybe even Nick's, if we have a customer call in with issues connecting we typically make sure the ID is correct and have them retype their password.
It is nice to be able to see what it is, without having to create a new one every time they would call.
It's not an issue for us as there is only two of us that have access to the information.
Just my 2 cents.

I'm storing passwords in plain text, to ease troubleshooting, and even though I have general_show_user_password: yes in my admin.conf file, the dialup_admin pages don't show the users' password anywhere (though I can reset the password properly).
Hmm, the comments in admin.conf should be updated. The idea is just to be able to see if a user password exists (hence the corresponding comment in the user edit page) and to reset the value if needed. I strongly disagree with being able to see and edit the user password in clear text (for various reasons) so the above behaviour is not likely to change.
If you need to see the actual clear text password value you can do what was suggested and add a corresponding line in the user_edit.attrs file.
Ideally I think it should be on the "show" page only, my thought is to put another row on the table in the "Check Password" area that would show the password as in the database - leaving the "check" form, so that a test could still be done.
If it /should/ be working, please advise what to check for as I've been poking around for a bit, and don't see anything that would be causing it not to work.
