If we talk about single client, opening access to all the rest of users - this is worth thinking about. (distributing a key over all clients is definitely bad idea) Moreover, we have an encrypted (by default) network channel to send that key. But we plan to sign RC1 in a few days (if not hours) and I'm not sure that adding plugin after it is good idea... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
