Having the password compiled in to something that's necessarily clear-text on the same media? You're not adding anything resembling a challenge for someone who's really interested in reverse-engineering your system. Any user (I won't call such a person *acker) incapable of getting around such a thing probably won't be trying to reverse-engineer it anyhow. -- Steve Watt KD6GGD PP-ASEL-IA ICBM: 121W 56' 57.8" / 37N 20' 14.9" Internet: steve @ Watt.COM Whois: SW32 Free time?
