Proposal --------

A new "auth:" scheme is introduced based on MD5 hash algorithm. The format of the new "auth" scheme is:

auth: MD5-PW <digest>

where <digest> is a 128-bit MD5 digest.

For example:

auth: MD5-PW 4aabd3dbc0746c8a4b5467f99a4f8524

Why not use md5 crypt wich is already used on many operating systems for passwords? auth: MD5-PW $1$sD9e4pQn$1832L4.BxsZHusy0plg8i0 /Oli -- Olafur Osvaldsson Systems Administrator Internet a Islandi hf. Tel: +354 525-5291 Email: oli@isnic.is
