Understood, if I wanted to keep the same password.....wait a
minute....what is the default password for toor?

If I wanted to insert a new password, I'd have to use crypt, and paste
the encrypted password into the proper field, correct?

Proper syntax?  Crypt newpassword...?
I read the crypt/enigma man page and did:
# crypt newpassword
(Nothing............................................)
^C
