I'll have to take a look at MD5 style hashing, thanks for the alternative.

on the issue of clear transmissions... Due to issues that can only happen in large organizations, we are fighting a move to remove SSL from our single-login system to a straight http configuration... the reason? Users are getting fed up with accepting certificates, and being warned of a redirect (netscape is the standard and this dialog cannot be "turned off") and complaining loudly. I wish I could say I was making this up for a Dilbert/UserFriendly strip, but I am not...they want to remove the security from the security system.

Next they'll remove the door security because people are growing tired of having to swipe their badges through...arghhhh

If someone wants to write a Perl module that thwarts stupidity, I'll beta test!
