It's the CGI coding background of mine coming out.

Can the mud handle crypted passwords? I suppose the code to add that in
probably isn't rocket science, so it probably could.
Has anyone tackled this yet? I couldn't see an ascii-pfile converter anywhere
on the code samples directory.
Am I blind?

Actually, security isn't a real issue, at least not more than any other
system, since I'm on an ADSL link, on a home network, where I control
everything including the firewall.
Running a mud out of my house is a DREAM!
Especially since I get 100baseT access.
*evil laugh*
I'm also the head coder too, which is fun.
Thanks!
