Actually it is very useful, but it requires some training (as any
other tool), and some discipline (don't forget to close those
tickets!!).
I have implemented it at work, and after some time using it for one
area, it will be implemented in other areas as well.

Just don't tweak it a lot, we want to stay as "apt-gettable" as
possible.

BOFH rule #1 (or whatever number you want): Never trust a user.

New feature: Encrypted gnatsd passwords

[I'm generally not going to add any new features before GNATS 4 is
released. However some missing features can be considered being bugs
which should be fixed.]
I added support for MD5 encrypted passwords in gnatsd.access, based on a
patch by Tommi Virtanen. Now you can use passwords prefixed with `$1$'
there, see the documentation of `crypt' in the GNU libc manual for more
details about the form of such passwords. Passwords prefixed with $0$
are exact match passwords. Other passwords remain the same as before,
i.e. case sensitive wild card match passwords.
