The usmUser line is actually fairly decipherable. It is not encrypted, it is only in hex. The second hex string (0x...) in the line is actually the user name. It's fairly easy to convert any ascii user name to hex and check/remove only lines that match that user name from the file. -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
