Not necessarily. Like I said it depends on your security model. Personally I use -x myself because I always use either tls or ssl ldap connections. This way my password is encrypted at all times. Ofcourse if you were worried about your password traversing the network at ALL then you could use the mechanisms like cram / digest that make one time hashes and send that instead thus mitigating the risk in that respect. Its about what fits your security requirements more, for most people though, -x with tls / ssl is fine. b -- Benjamin Smee (strerror) 497F 5E98 1FA0 C313 EA0B 08C7 004A 66ED 448B E78C
