    Hi,


    Is there any way to encrypt data transmitted from the Hobbit

Client to the Hobbit Server? Currently, if someone put a sniffer on the network will have access to all information transmitted, as they are in plain text.

    Regards,

    Eduard

disclaimer: i still haven't tried hobbit, i'm lurking the list to get a better feel of it.

so, after getting this disclaimer out of the way, i'm guessing the easiest way to get this going is by using something like stunnel (www.stunnel.org) or openssh port forwarding (www.openssh.com). both work with most tcp based apps and have been used by us in various scenarios.
