RE: Generating Passwords for Storing in thepasswd f ile

I don't remember where I found this; I thought it was on the javacvs
site somwehere. It's a chunk of code that turns cleantext passes into
ones that cvs will accept:

-----------------------------------------------
    //cvs passwd 'encryption'
    private final String mangle(String password){
        StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
	buf.append('A');
        for(int i=0;i<password.length();i++) {
            buf.append(shifts[password.charAt(i)]);
        }
        return buf.toString();
    }

    private final char shifts[] = {
	0,  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
	16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31,
	114,120, 53, 79, 96,109, 72,108, 70, 64, 76, 67,116, 74, 68, 87,
	111, 52, 75,119, 49, 34, 82, 81, 95, 65,112, 86,118,110,122,105,
	41, 57, 83, 43, 46,102, 40, 89, 38,103, 45, 50, 42,123, 91, 35,
	125, 55, 54, 66,124,126, 59, 47, 92, 71,115, 78, 88,107,106, 56,
	36,121,117,104,101,100, 69, 73, 99, 63, 94, 93, 39, 37, 61, 48,
	58,113, 32, 90, 44, 98, 60, 51, 33, 97, 62, 77, 84, 80, 85,223,

	207,221,254,173,202,146,224,151,140,196,205,130,135,133,143,246,
	192,159,244,239,185,168,215,144,139,165,180,157,147,186,214,176,
