Thanks for the feedback! Just some comments on the security side of things:

Is there a way for that to be stored with some rudamentary encryption?

Yes, but I'm not sure how worthwhile it would be. Anyone who had the source to Links SQL could figure out how to unencrypt them as the passwords need to be passed to the databse unencrypted. Most likely anyone who can see the .def files can also see your Links SQL source.

Also, you should definately make sure mysql is setup to only allow access from the local machine.

Multiple admins can be relatively easily implemented using MySQL built in security, as long as the database log-on isn't root. If the Admin screen asks for the database log on, rather than assuming it, then there is built-in security beyond .htaccess

I'm not sure what you mean here. Do you mean multiple admin's who all have the same access? Or multiple admin's, each managing a section of the directory?

Cheers,

Alex
