Hi, I am forwarding Debian bug 106391. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=106361&repeatmerged=yes
The bug still applies. ---- this is from the "advanced usage" section of examples (info docs): > * If you want to encode your own username and password to HTTP or > FTP, use the appropriate URL syntax (*note URL Format::). > > wget ftp://hniksic:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/.emacs this would let other users on the system to see your password using "ps". it should have a big disclaimer. there are also other places in the documentation that talk about putting passwords in urls, but do not say anything about the potential security implications (search for "password"). ---- Please keep [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC'ed. -- Guillaume Morin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Alcôve - L'informatique est libre http://www.alcove.com/fr/
