I'd suggest using SHA1 instead of MD5 for it is considered more secure and
used by Jabber clients anyway.

Digest auth needs clear text passwords on the server, 0k does not.

See

for a longer description.

BTW is it possible to disable clear text and digest auth and force 0k auth
only?- Is it possible to create accounts any more then?
