Hi, Can you use ssh tunneling? You will not be changing anything except add an extra ssh layer to tunnel your data through. There is how-to at http://www.ccs.neu.edu/groups/systems/howto/howto-sshtunnel.html
(or you can google for tunneling) Please note you can not use MD5 as it is not reversible. Thanks, --Kartic -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
