This is really a networking issue and shouldn't be addressed in applications. What's better - security controlled in one place with one code set, or security implemented 50 times, each time in a different way. Although it's a noble thing for MySql to do this, I think it's ultimately the wrong way to do it. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
