Only with some sort of one time knocking sequences... Otherwise it is
just like a clear text password, just a *little* bit harder to filter out!

My wish would be a sip/rtp proxy built in to the state mechanism. It would
certainly be a big undertaking, but it es exactly the right place to
solve this problem, with security in mind! Something like the radio proxy.

I also belong to the group interested in ip-filter on Linux. In my
case mostly on SuSE.
