[boot scriptor] Re: possibility of encryption?

Hi Jason,

There's an example password script in the latest CD Shell distribution. 
  It contains a password hash generator, and an authentication example. 
  If you can generate MD5 sums by some other means, then you don't need 
to use the password generator thing.

It works well for password-controlled access to things, especially when 
combined with the ability to lock down the console (use sloader.bin from 
the source distribution).  The main problem I've had with it is that 
password entry doesn't support backspace to fix typos.
