	This page has been marked as Historical. Information posted here may be inaccurate and out of date. This information is kept for sentimental and/or historical reference purposes. Deprecated in favor of m_oper_hash, alongside m_md5.so and m_sha256.so in 1.1.0 Beta 6 and above

Description

Allows oper passwords to be hashed using the MD5 hashing algorithm rather than stored in plaintext.

Configuration Tags

None

Additional Modes

None

Additional Commands

This module adds the following command:

/MKPASSWD <plaintext>

Encodes <plaintext> to an MD5 hash and displays the result.

Special Notes

This module will operate alongside plaintext passwords. To use MD5 hashes simply replace the plaintext password in <oper:password> with the MD5 hash MKPASSWD gives you.

Please note that once you move ALL your oper passwords to MD5, you will be unable to oper up without this module loaded -- if you unload it, you will be left unable to reload it if you lose oper status.
