Of course that's a valid point and I was not arguing against it.
I only picked the most problematic part of the scenario.
In fact one way encryption is cheap and available everywhere, so it
should be no problem to integrate it.
Of course it would not help against a prying administrator. It's plain
simple to sniff the passwords from HTTP traffic.
