One idea would be to split it up -- put each user-specific, sensitive passwords in a config file somewhere in that users' directory (you probably don't want it in the context itself for security reasons). All the rest of the configuration (which it sounds like the users only need read-access to), can be in a global config file with read access. peace, Jason -- Jason D.
