Usually, if you're the client-end of an authentication session (i.e. the one asking to be authenticated) you'll need the plain text password.

I'd expect a rather client-biased distribution of passwords in a users home directory. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
