Sice it's normal to have programs that save your passwords in plaintext in their configs. And yes, most of them do that because they also send the passwords in plaintext over the net, and if someone watches your traffic it will be trivial to find them. Also it's good to encrypt the cache of some programs since it's common that you don't want your browser history, cache, etc. to be visible. However I find it simpler and safer to use hardware disk encryption(from the BIOS config) and a bunch of other thinkpad security stuff. I'm not really sure if this kind of stuff is widely available on other hardware. So this software encryption thing seems nice. -- NV -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
