Hi Evan
I took a look at the blog entries that andy made and they seem pretty convincing to me.

Are they speculation... Yes...

Seems like a pretty simple question.

Do admins have access to passwords in clear text or not ?

If the answer is NO then the whole issue goes away. If the answer is YES I guess that requires further investigation doesn't it ?

I cannot remember... Are you an admin here on UT? If so do you have access to passwords ?

For the record.... I do a lot of work in the finance and hr worlds and these are issues we deal with it seems daily...

Thanks
rodman
