Note that the perl function crypt is intended to be a one-way function, much like breaking eggs to make an omelette. There is no (known) corresponding decrypt function.
I guess if I needed to change the GForum passwords to clear text midstream I would write a script to give each user a temporary password and send an e-mail asking them to log in to change it. If I was to use such a script I would back up my database first and test on my developement server before using it. Fortunately I have not had to do that because I made the decision at install to only use clear text passwords because I wanted to use my feature mod to e-mail the passwords to the user upon request and I only allow one user per email address to that can be utilized.
