You can use SSL encripted connections, for logon and all session if you like, socket module has SSL support too:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-socket.html http://docs.python.org/lib/ssl-objects.html http://docs.python.org/lib/socket-example.html (check last example) As for hashes, password hashing with md5, most sites or systems authenticates against the hash, never use the clear password, a hash is better and can be faster. http://docs.python.org/lib/module-md5.html Regards, Carlos Daniel Ruvalcaba Valenzuela On 12/24/06, Adam Bark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm currently writing a networked game and I'm about to write a proper > implementation of the logon server.
