Bonsoir Ted, Bill et Mark,
Just an add-up to this thread with an email I posted to the Improve
list less than a week ago:
> I work every day with protected stacks and here is the way I make
> my life easy with them:
>
> I have a text file with a list of passwords and stack names in it.
> At every stack (or substack) preOpenStack I have a routine in a
> library that checks if this file exists, parse it and set the
> passkey accordingly.
> In distribution, this file of course is not included and, in
> addition, the routine is skipped when the environment is not 'Dev'
> then all stacks stay protected.
> But in my 'Dev' environment, I am never prompted to enter any PW.

BTW, I confirm what Mark said: SSL encryption/decryption is really
amazingly fast :-)
Best regards from Paris,
