Normally I'd agree with you, but in this case I'm not too worried.
Security is the least of the problems with this app. Its on a switched
LAN, and the script that I'm trying to write is only going to be around
long enough to migrate to something else.

On a related note, what does everyone think of DES for a VPN? Is it
paranoid to insist on 3DES? Hmm, I guess the answer to that is yes, so
the question should be: Is it paranoid in a bad way?
