<para>The password field must be filled. The encrypted password consists
of 13 to 24 characters from the 64 characters alphabet a thru z, A
thru Z, 0 thru 9, \. and /. Optionally it can start with a "$"
character. This means the encrypted password was generated using
another (not DES) algorithm. For example if it starts with "$1$" it
means the MD5-based algorithm was used.
