What about POP/IMAP daemons? This wouldn't be universal of course, but on
MY system, I don't have too many "interactive" logins (telnet, etc).
Most/all of my users have Unix accounts which are used primarily for mail
(POP/IMAP) and some file storage (SAMBA).
Could this be used in any way to "get" the cleartext password?
