if you want to break security badly, what you could do is backup the
security database, restore it to another server, then cron/at a service
stop, file rename, service start cycle. Sounds pretty ugly to me and it;s
only one way.
Or you could look at security database mods where it stores security data in
an external table using triggers. you still will not catch the unencrypted
password though AFAIK.
