Re: Encrypted passwords

Ray,

In the past I had to use the sybase libs to support a feature not
found in freetds(until Frediano put it in :D)

If you download the ase dev edition 16, you can use the OpenClient
libraries for use with sqsh(for shell scripting). Not sure about perl,
but it also works for sybase_ct in php. It may allow you to use
encrypted passwords. You're welcome to email me direct if you'd like
more info.
