I wanted to make the point that it's generally fairly easy to spoof email senders, but I suspect I got filtered by Yahoo! Groups. Anyway, md5 hashes of what? Do you mean your password is a longish string of alphanumerics? That doesn't guarantee that the password is secure. Unless you're using SSL it's fairly easy for a malicious user on your network to sniff your passwords (but not as easy as people make it out to be in the general case). This is why Kerberos is such a complicated bugger to work out... -- Gordonjcp MM0YEQ
