Re: BillMax questions -- Plaintext Password

["Prince Chidi Ajuzie" <chidi@rbow.net>]

Hi Jeff,
        I'm able to change the password of an existing service and use the
hook to send it
in plaintext to another system.
    What i  CANNOT do is create a new service and send the password in
PLAINTEXT to another system
hosting my radius authentication.It goes there in crypted form. I need to
send the password in plaintext to the
system.

Thanks

Chidi
