1. Have you find a way of porting the pw-database from UNIX to MySQL? As I
see it it is impossible due to the one-way-hash of MD5. The only way I've
found out is to give all users a new password. :(
2. Is it possible to let the users by them self change their password? Then
they could change it to their UNIX-password. As far as I know only the MySQL
admin can change the users passwords. :(
