storing encrypted data in oracle

I would like to store initial settings for unix usernames and associated
passwords (for newly created accounts) in an oracle table for reference
purposes.  However, I want to encrypt the password so that the data is
more secure.  How could I use oracle to perform the
encryption/decryption?  Would it be smarter/easier to encrypt the data
before insertion using some non-oracle method?  If so, how?



(Oracle 8.1.5; Solaris 2.6)



Thanks,


Tony Catania
