Ian, Which environment and which kind of database? If you have unix with Oracle there's a really nice feature called "ops id" which allows the user to logon to the database provided his Oracle login name is the same as his unix login name. I'm not sure if it works going from one server to another.
If you are using Oracle, let me know, and I'll go find my notes from the last time I worked on it.

The rules are a bit different on the other box. One of those things is that the username and password can not be hardcoded into the program. I don't have all the information yet, but does anyone know if the way to do this is through environment variables? if it is another please clue me in. Just trying to get a little background. I looked in 'Programming the Perl DBI' didn't find anything that covered this. I could just be blind though. Thanks, -Ian
