You assume that because only two people currently have access to the source for the login means that there isn't another copy of it out and about, floating around on someones system, hidden in a dark corner?

That is highly unlikely, unless somebody hacked their machines and stole it from them. It's the source for the encryption that is the important thing, and I'd bet anything only two (perhaps three, one very trusted old timer) people have that. Further confirmation comes from that older login server "source" which was leaked (which by the way is useless for our client.) Sure, the login server source was there, but the encryption was pre-compiled. I infer from that that even when the LS was distributed to "trusted" people, it was done so without the encryption source.
