I'll have to take a look at MD5 style hashing, thanks for the
alternative.
on the issue of clear transmissions... Due to issues that can
only happen in large organizations, we are fighting a move to
remove SSL from our single-login system to a straight http configuration...
the reason? Users are getting fed up with accepting certificates, and being warned of
a redirect (netscape is the standard and this dialog cannot be "turned off") and
complaining loudly. I wish I could say I was making this up for
a Dilbert/UserFriendly strip, but I am not...they want to remove the security
from the security system.
Next they'll remove the door security because people are growing tired of
having to swipe their badges through...arghhhh
If someone wants to write a Perl module that thwarts stupidity, I'll beta test!
