I was reading something about a problem with Open Webmail that mentioned
the RaQ 550 stores it's user passwords in a password database, instead
of the usual /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files. I don't know anything
more than that, but if you uncover some info about this database I'd be
interested to hear about it.

Hope this helps,
