Stock 1.1 used something different. Oh dear - looks like I'm "up shit creek" there then? (I think that covers my obCDA "indecency"? Come 'n' get me ;) What does 1.1 use then? Would there be _any_ chance of moving a 1.1 passwd entry to 2.1, even perhaps pulling in the 1.1 encryption code? > Uh.. Perhaps there's some confusion (on my part, most likely).

That didn't come until > post-2.1. I feel the confusion's all mine & you're correct in that I was talking of the dual encryption feature..
