[p4] password encyrption

[Jeff Grills]

You can always tunnel p4 through SSH if you're that concerned about
security.  See this tech note:

http://www.perforce.com/perforce/technotes/note022.html

And this too:

Even if there's not a firewall in the way, you can likely find a way to keep
the box from receiving any packets to the P4 port except over the local
loopback interface (this would be trivial with linux & ipchains), and
require users to ssh into the perforce server box and use a ssh port tunnel
to access the server.

Hello



We're attempting a perforce implementation to help with some sensitive areas
and we're getting negative feedback about perforce because it sends
passwords in clear text.



I've talked to support and apparently password encryption is an 8 year old
request with many customers requesting it, but I was wondering how some of
you have handled this interally?
