The pmreadpass.exe utility worked for about the first 30 users, then it
just kind of quit. I've been moving users to RADUIS and deleting them,
but this will be difficult if I can't get the rest of the users and
passwords. And what's more, when I delete a user from the local table, it
doesn't seem to be removed from pmreadpss.exe's output. Is there a better
way?
