Subject: Cisco ACS username:  hash or crypt or....   and de-encoding?

I looked through the archives but didn't see anything related...

For Cisco ACS 5, in the CLI administration, a "repository" is defined for the system
to pull or push backups and patches.

Part of the repo definition is an optional username and password (for ftp, say),
and is defined thusly:

ACS(config)#  repository test-ftp
ACS(config-repository)#   user TestUser password plain abc123

which looks like this afterward:

ACS(config)# do sho run | include TestUser
  user Testuser password hash 0c5eadecc96d64ebe2b9e1d3b636d6053e3898bb

I noted that Cisco calls it a 'hash'  -- but since it needs to be cleartext for the ftp process to use it,
wouldn't this be a misnomer?

In any case,  here's a handful of different  passwords and hashes, in case somebody can
do something with it:
