[asterisk-users] Hide the plain text password

[Jian Gao]

Thanks for all your inputs.

I am thinking using MySQL DB to save the user account information. And 
let mysql encrypt the password, (MD5 maybe?). I remember I've done SIP 
realtime registration. Can I also use this way on the Google Voice account?
