Is there a way to retreive passords for SQL Server authenticated users from
a system table? I'd like to retreive the passwords for a handfull of SQL
Server users and place them in a database table (for application purposes).
I've looked for functions and stored procedures in the Books On Line, but
came up empty.

Thanks,
Joe
