Lots of people may not know, but the original encrypted passwords were in "/etc/passwd" when Unix was first written.

@FeMike, the forum search function is at the top of web page, in the black bar, third from the right.

Each forum seems to do things slightly different.

On my screen from mobile device there are two menus. One is the welcome back drop down and the other is private messages. That black bar? The pic is to large in size so here is a link.
