Another entry in the internet security hall of shame....

[Ian G]

In another routine event in the adventure known as
getting security to work in spite of the security,
I just received this ...

[fwd]

When creating a google talk compatible IM personality in Apple's iChat you
get the following warning on the Google Help pages:
-=-=-
12.	Check the boxes next to 'Connect using SSL' and 'Allow self-signed
certificates.' You don't need to check the box next to 'Warn before
password is sent insecurely' -- your password is always secure with Google
Talk.

Congratulations! You are now ready to connect to the Google Talk service
using iChat.

Once you've configured iChat to connect to the Google Talk service, you may
receive a warning message that states your username and password will be
transferred insecurely. This error message is incorrect; your username and
password will be safely transferred.

hmmmmmm
