Hey, at the risk of getting totally nuked, I am going
to ask this question.  Is there a fast/easy way to
check if two passwords are the same?

I don't care what they are (aka crack), but just want
to know if the two encrypted passwords are the same.

Reason??
Ahh, you see, I am working on a little password/time-out
program. (Ok, an ugly hammer for an ugly problem...)

Any help/hints anyone?

Thanks much in advance.

--Toby.
