    Hello bugtraq,
    
    Sambar Server (Web/Mail/Proxy for Windows) by default stores
    password  encrypted  with blowfish with static built-in key.
    (Documentation  states  passwords  can't  be  recovered  but
    server  recovers passwords for some needs). There is no even
    need  to  discover  this  key  because  Sambar  has decoding
    procedure  inside.  Attached  is  simple  program  to launch
    decoding.   Copy  it to Sambar's /bin and treat is as a tool
    to recover forgotten passwords :)
    
    In config.ini you can set
     Use Unix crypt = true
    to make Sambar use crypt()-like non-recoverable DES format.
