-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 passords are encrypted (normally) with a simple one-way hashing algorithm - the encrypting key is included in the stuff that's in the result. If you install shadow passwords, the password file is "ghosted" to another directory, and encrypted differently (using libcrypt, I think)

I read that password in the "passwd" file are noet encrepted. I also opend it ones with pico and it was in clear text. I tried to open it today and clear text was gone. I can only see a ''X" in password place. What is going on? How can I get my clear text passwords back?
