In that case, thou gh > 1.1 didn't use MD5, but also (supposedly) didn't use DES, then I really am ho It didn't use DES if you didn't load the des distribution. Since you're in OZ, I guess I can assume that you didn't grab one of the foreign DES distributions? The default password "encryption" with 1.x was a simple scrambler and about as difficult to break as a Captain Midnight decoder ring, fresh from a box of cereal. That might actually work to your advantage, however. Nate - what was the algorithm you used? I don't have any 1.x sources around to check. It may well be that you can write a perl script to descramble the puppies and then re-DES or MD5 encrypt them. Jordan
