	Hmm, CHAP is actually just as cleartext as PAP, except that the
	cleartext stage is in a different place in the network.

We try to make sure the passwords used in challenge/response
protocols, in particular the main Plan 9 authentication protocol,

on a terminal:

term% cpu
% netkey
netkey must not be run on the cpu server
