Subject: Sago Networks allows use of root passwords in
	clear text channels

Sago Networks [www.sagonet.com], is a hosting provider for dedicated
and colocated servers, including other various internet related
services. The ticketing system does not collect trouble ticket data
over SSL.  Furthermore, trouble ticket information requests a
root/admin password when working on the server.  This password is
passed in the clear over plain http (not ssl, eg https enabled).  This
same root/admin password is also sent to the customer in an email upon
opening of the ticket.

considering the poor service I've had with this company, nearly since
day one, I have little alternative, but to switch providers.  Consider
this a recommendation to NOT use them if at all possible.

Thank you,

Scott Edwards
