It's always nice to see progress in terms of interfaces. The Perl and  =

Python modules should cover many needs for interactive application  =

development.

BTW "eenc" will no longer be required once the next RefDB release is  =

out. You'll be able to configure refdbd to use unencrypted passwords,  =

if this is safe in your environment. It should be, in most cases, as  =

the password encryption used in RefDB merely scares away casual  =

sniffers.

Also, many thanks for testing RefDB quite thoroughly, which resulted  =

in a couple of valuable bug reports.

regards,
Markus
