Re: SMC Router safe Login in plaintext

[KF <dotslash () snosoft com>]

as opposed to a plaintext password file... yes. IF someone were to crack 
into their dialup server sure a few passwords are only a john the ripper 
attack away... but that is certainly better than a raw text file with 
all clear text. Besides that if someone were to crack their dialup 
server they have a few more things to worry about than someone running 
john on their passwd.
