Using the property tab of acl_users, a strange behaviour occurs, which I 
could reproduce on Linux and Windows boxes. If you choose password encrypting 
and save all users in this folder get encrypted passwords and no one of these 
can log in anymore ... this seems rather fatal if the administrator thinks he 
could improve security but in fact just locks out the site members. Any idea? 
Urgently hoping for help.
