Yeah, at this point I think it's safest to just use SSL. If I use Pyro for anything I'll probably do it that way. > DCOM: as it is based on DCE/RPC, I would say: no.

Hmm, ok, maybe we need something like that for Python, perhaps as a Pyro extension. > Precisely.

Frankly I've never understood why ssh caught on instead of telnet over SSL. See stunnel.org for a simple SSL tunnel. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
