This is very dangerous. Any reversible encryption runs a serious risk of being exploited. If you are going to do something like this, then use a product like PerlApp that will encrypt the source of your script, don't try to roll your own. Even if you do this, be aware of the caveat that if someone has the ability to read the contents of the system's memory, they can obtain the source that way.
Your best bet is to either use the cgi-bin trick mentioned earlier or set up some way to send a signal to another process (maybe even on another system?) that will disconnect the sessions for you. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 6:42 AM To: perl-win32-admin@listserv.ActiveState.com Subject: RE: disconnect network sessions remotely <snip> Can I mimic a different user from within a perl script?
