(?) DNS Ports: A bit about Name Resolution Protocols

From Matt Harrington on Sun, 02 Jan 2000 on the SAGE (USENIX Sysadmin's Guild) list

is the following true or faKQUOTE> 3) Install the imap....ORDER="0" > Maybe the FAQ or README should clarify that. Maybe I missed it. That's one of the reasons that I try to copy the "right" people when I'm doing my "Answer Guy" responses. I learn from my mistakes that way.

Is SCRAM some variant of the CRAM-MD5? (challenge/response authentication mechanism: RFC 2095 and 2195?)
Does that get around the need to store the POP user's cleartext password on the server? I read through these RFCs and didn't quite get the part about storing "contexts" rather than copies of the cleartext passwords. (I didn't spend long on it, but I think I'm missing some detail here --- I should probably read some source code to an implementation to see what I missed).
