[rt-users] Can't autogenerate passwords with code on Wiki

[Rick Russell]

I'm trying to use the code on the Wiki to autogenerate passwords for new 
users:

http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?AutogeneratedPassword

Problem is that the code never puts any text in the template; I suspect 
that the problem is:

   $Transaction->CreatorObj->__Value('Password')

Instead of returning *NO-PASSWORD* as expected, it's returning a weird has 
of characters. As an example, I created a new e-mail account for testing 
and $Transaction->CreatorObj->__Value('Password') returned 
"NHIlHxP80A9j+A1HDtBU7Q".

Consequently, I can't distinguish between users who already have an RT 
password, and users who don't. Any suggestions?
