An other drawback in my opinion is one I originally said in my email that I was corrected on ... That its a flat text file which limits dynamic passwords, in that you have to either write something that will allow users to change their passwords, which is more difficult (although not impossible, just watch file locking and permission issues) than using a DB. The other alternative is that an admin type has to change the passwords for the individuals. While many installations dont care as much as I aparently do over passwords, this can still be a cumbersome task in a large installation to do them manually like that. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.sacaug.org/ Sacramento Asterisk Users Group
