# Linux Encrypted Passwords

LINUX USERS ONLY:

Password encryption

For security reasons, administrators are encouraged to encrypt their passwords.

This is done by setting the cvar encrypt_password to 1 in the server configuration files (listen/ server.cfg ) To encrypt a password, go to the Admin/tools directory, and type:

./make_pass password

This will output a cut'n'paste-able encrypted version of the password you entered. Now, copy'n'paste the ENCRYPTED version of your password into the users.ini file in the password area (between the two colons ":"). The un-encrypted version is to be placed in the second password area of the setinfo line. Remember that throughout this process, all the passwords, encrypted or not, are case sensitive.
