However, my project makes use of ftp to get around some install issues and I am only storing one ftp user/pass assuming it will control the whole server. Looks like I got a bit of redesign to do on the database.

Thanx again, this really does help.

Here is another thing to consider: If you are building a program to install stuff for other people, they will often create a special username / password with limited access to make sure you can only get to certain stuff. I think more and more people are also very, very leary of leaving you an open password for any length of time. Smart admins would make the password active just long enough for an install and then blow the password out right away so that a NATS style "password leak" doesn't cause any problems.
