This reminds me of something I've been meaning to bring up for a long time. In the Samba instructions we recommend using Stunnel to encrypt the use of SWAT, as it requires the root password and it is sent clear text over the wire if not Stunneled. Should we also recommend, and provide instructions for, encrypting the use of the CUPS web interface as well? To me, it is the exact same thing (requires root password sent over the wire as clear text, if not encrypted) -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 10:28:00 up 131 days, 19:52, 3 users, load average: 0.05, 0.29, 0.51 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
