Accept the username/password as an input, such as from the command line. or switch to SSH. Why does it matter if they are hardcoded, assuming I am on the box and can read your script then most likely I can intercept the packets and retrieve them that way, security through obscurity isn't worth the time. http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
