Starting with Teradata V2R5.1 by default logons are encrypted. This broke the venerable Teradata

Perl scripts stopped working!
Is anyone working on a fix? I know they are using Blowfish encryption:
http://www.schneier.com/blowfish.html and that for now at least it's just the logon
data that is
encrypted. With the next major release of TD the plan is to encrypt everything on the
network
stream.
I'd like to see this working again, is anybody working on it?

It will soon be available for the commerical version
via a native CLI2 adapter. I am unlikely to have spare resources
to apply a fix for the freely available version in the near future,
as the source bases of the 2 versions are significantly out of
alignment.
