I don't think this is a code generation matter. Yes, we can do it ourselves. But it sure looks good for Kevin when we can go into a customer and answer their tough security questions positively. Security, at least to me, should be an integral part of any framework. Otherwise, I'm quite happy with the framework. Maybe I'm off-base, but that's my desire to have security rock solid in the framwork (and I think they are quite close anyhow).

Regards,
Carl.

>>What you say is true... the passwords are clearly visible. This, in my opinion, is the single biggest flaw of the framework. I feel that this should be addressed within the framework - and hopefully it would be the topmost priority of any bug fix or enhancement to the framework.
