No, the passwords were encrypted. Yet I didn't spend much time trying to unencrypted them. At the time, we had passwords written on the customer signup sheet and put the passwords in manually.
Thanks to this list (I forget who told us), but we assimilated an acquired customer base from USR S&A on NT into our Cistron RADIUS server on FreeBSD. Just export the S&A user database to character delimited file. The "encrypted" passwords are very easy to unencrypt as there is simply a constant offset added to each character in the password (think ASCII value of each char). I don't know if the same offset value is used everywhere, but we found it to be the ASCII value for the CONTROL character (129? I don't have the ASCII table in front of me). --jeff ============================================================================ Jeffrey A.
