Then in this case this would be an operating system vulnerability. Overuse in the use of encrypted passwords can be counter productive to functionality. There are good reasons to keep passwords clear text passwords to better interface with other software. For example Merak Mail server software (http://www.icewarp.com/Products/Merak_Email_Server_Software/) When using this mail server, it can store the accounts on an SQL Server. The passwords are stored clear text. This enables other software to interface with its data to create and sync its accounts/passwords with other systems.
