[FreeNX-kNX] Saved password in nxs-file

Hello,

does somebody have any idea, how the encryption/encoding of the user 
password in the nxs-file works?

it is in the following section:

<group name="Login" >
<option key="Auth" value="ENCODED_PASSWORD_HERE" />
...

I have already tried to use Python's crypt.crypt() method with a random 
salt, but that does not work; also using the user password value from 
the /etc/shadow file does not work (which is basically the same...)

My aim is to automate the generation of the nxs-files.

Thank you!
Thomas
