38 <PRE>Ah ha! Cool. I haven't had time to install IRCServices and test the XML file
39 before I reported it. I guess I should have, my bad.
41 Sorry for the trouble.

52 ><i> As the saying goes, this isn't a bug, it's a feature. The converter
53 </I>><i> doesn't know (or rather, chooses not to know) whether the password field
54 </I>><i> contains a cleartext password or encrypted data, so it saves the entire
55 </I>><i> field (
32 bytes, in this case). When the field is read in by Services,
57 ><i> first \
0 will terminate the plaintext password, and the rest of the field
58 </I>><i> will be ignored, so no problems will occur.

69 </I>><i> >Daemon, PTlink.Services2.17

72 </I>><i> >have trailing garbage. In the example I am pasting below, I set the
73 </I>><i> >founderpass to be 'l33t' and the convert-db app spits out the following:
