Encrypting Passwords in Configuration File
You can also direct the system software to encrypt
passwords saved in the configuration file by using the service password-encryption command. This command is
useful to keep unauthorized individuals from viewing your password
in your configuration file. It is important to remember that this
command uses a simple cipher and is not intended to protect against
serious analysis. You can tell if a string is encrypted if it is preceded
by an 8.
