What kinda of passwords? Like in your oper.conf or your links?

/mkpasswd crypt <pass> (Example pass is UNREALircD)

Example Response: (%) *** Authentication phrase (method=crypt, para=UNREALircD) is: 65hbo3NywGub2

then write it like

password-receive "65hbo3NywGub2" { crypt; };

No, it's a "one way hash".

(well yes, in practice you could "brute force" all passwords, however this usually takes several hours/days/years [highly depends on the quality/length of your password]).
