But just to be sure: password fields are usually generated using a one-way hash, which means you CAN NOT decode it, only brute-force. If this field really contains a recoverable password, then that's a huge security risk and you should think about changing software.
For base64 decoding using CLI, take a look at coreutils' base64 or uudeview. Regards. Arno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
