Now, I haven't tried, but I know I now have this file:
|-rw-r--r-- 1 mattia mattia 44 Dec 11 17:20
/home/mattia/.config/profitbricks-sdk-python.ini
that is world-readible.
At this time it only contains my username:
|% cat ~/.config/profitbricks-sdk-python.ini
|[credentials]
|username = mat...@debian.org
|
|%
But I believe that if I set that "store-plaintext-passwords" magic
switch, however well the library tries to have the user not to, it would
then store the password in a world-readible file.
If the user wants to shoot itself in the foot, at least please help him
dodge the bullet a bit by making the file 600 and not the umask's
default (644).
I'm relieved that at least that by default it saved the password in the
keyring (I hope) :)
