True - I couldn't do it on my 2.1.6 box. But I can do it on the latest
release of 2.2-GAMMA, however I'm assuming its been enabled for development.

Also - whenever I've done it, I've only been able to read my password
though strings, I couldn't see any other encrypted strings anywhere.

Any comments?
