I see, hmmm, makes sense, you don't want to open a hole to hack out passwords as clear text. OK understood, that could be a serious problem. So, you just keep that door shut. So then, obviously, admin is left with the manual task of tracking the passwords for each group and which users have been given those passwords. I would be interested in how other admins do this or if there are any "best practices" recommendations... A simple text file on one's own box? A protected page on the wiki?
