No, you did not miss anything...

I know what a hash is - like I said, not useful. As you describe PAM, no not useful for off-system access. But my question stands:

What is access to the crypt'ed passwords like? Can a random app cull them? The fact that they are NOT hashes seems, at the basest level, to indicate it is possible. I've shied away from Keychain in that past because of vague notions along this line, but I want some real data now...
