Hi all!

I was looking to enable SMTP AUTH on my box, and figured the ideal would 
be use PAM and CRAM-MD5. So, I found there is a simple PAM plugin and 
that auth_flat_file supports CRAM-MD5, so I was looking into marrying 
the two. 

However, if I understood it correctly, the CRAM-MD5 hook needs to have 
the password in cleartext, and that there is no way to use an allready 
hashed password due to the ticket used in the challenge?

So, it is simply not possible to use a password which is encrypted on 
the host with CRAM-MD5, or is there a workaround?

Cheers,

Kjetil
