Maybe I missread the file, but it said cleartext does not pass over the network. I did not fully understand that (and did not re-reread it). It also made the arguement that if you are using ftp or telnet or the like you are already using clear text. I first need functionality then security. I know this is not the best position to take, but this lan is behind a firewall with mainly trusted users. -- SpencerUnderground ||mailto:spencer at sihope.com|| "I have no doubt that it is part of the destiny of the human race in its gradual development to leave off the eating of animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilized."
