I am not necessarily talking about passwords for users but about the password that is used for connecting to the database. In a compiled language you would have to look pretty hard in a dll to find where the password had been encoded. As you point out there will be users inside of the application. Their passwords will be hashed and stored in the database. That is relatively easy to execute. But the password that the application uses to connect to the database is going to be stored somewhere in the code. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
