[Xitami] password encryption

[Peter]

Hello thanks for the quick response. I'm pretty surprised that no encryption
is used when they are publicly available for use. Perl offers a MD5 mod I
believe that php uses a similar method. PAM I'm not fimilair with. Below is
a bit of perl to encrypt a password (MD5 mod need s to be installed)

use Digest::MD5 qw/md5_hex/;
$enc_pass=md5_hex($password);

Peter
