---------------------------------------------

Hi Freeman,

are you sure about your change, especially the way to change the password (and 
putting in clear) ?

I gonna test it (or maybe you already tested it ?).

I agree to call encrypt password at "startup" to crypt all passwords in a row, 
but users may want to re-type the password in clear (without the prefix/suffix, 
{CRYPT} by default) in order to "re-encrypt" it again.

Thanks anyway !
Regards
JB
