Hash: SHA1

I just finished implementing reasonably smart code to upload a NoCat passwd 
file to the wifidog auth server.  If (as in our case) the usernames were 
email adress, the auth server will take the prefix as username (taking _1, 
_2, etc. if necessary to eliminate duplicates, of which there were 24 out of 
the 862 imported users).  The password hash are carried over, which means 
every password still works!  This should also greatly lower the barrier to 
adoption for existing community groups.

The test server (currently at http://isfauth.coeus.ca/wifidog/) now has the 
full user database (as of a few days ago).  So as of now we could deploy test 
wifidog installs without our users scratching their heads wondering why it 
doesn't work.

Also to ease the transition, you can now login with either your username or 
your email address.

Keep playing with it and send in your comments.

Good night,
