Hey gang,

I'm replacing an older Alpha running v 3.2a with a newer
one running 4.0b. I have written scripts to add the old
accounts, but would like to transfer their passwords as
well. In the past, I could get away with grabbing their old
encrypted password and putting it into the appropriate spot
in the new database. But they've made some major changes
in the new database system for v 4.0 and last time I tried,
this little kludge didn't work.

Anyone had any better luck than I on this?

Cheers,
Lyn
