Subject: gkrellm 2.1.19 email user/password storage in clear text

Hi all,

I couldn't find this when searching through the list archives so I
presume it hasn't been posted yet.

>From gkrellm-2.1.19 rpm base:

~user/.gkrellm/user-config  stores passwords for IMAP, IMAP-CRAM-MD5,
and POP in clear text.

>From ~user/.gkrellm/user-config
--
mail mailbox-remote IMAP_(CRAM-MD5) some.server.com "username"
"password" 143 "inbox"
--

Can anyone confirm that this is true on other versions/platforms?

happy gnu year!

Chris
