Damn clever idea! Please let us know if that works or not!

Subject: [hobbit] hobbit security transmission
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.
