SSPI is secure enough provided the clients are all NT/2000/XP and you switch encryption on. NTLMv2 has weaknesses but it'll withstand casual attempts to break it. If you're really paranoid you can use sserver which is a pserver session encrypted in an SSL tunnel - pretty unbreakable unless the client machine is compromised. >Or is setting up ssh very easy (this section is missing in the doc's I >found) and can this "commit-as-System" - problem be solved easily? Setting up ssh is easy enough but the commit-as-System stuff is a limitation that nobody has found a way around yet. Tony
