As you mentioned, it is OT. There are even worse problems on the box, though.
Remember,
those of us who migrated, how you were asked if you wanted the dialer to remember your
password? Those of you already canny about security said "No" and Windows stored it
(unencrypted) anyway, but simply didn't link to it.
But we're on Linux here and it takes quite something to get through the security even
when
passwords are known. The "You crack it, you keep it." contest LinuxPPC ran included as
starting information the root password for their machine. No one broke it, and the
prize is
unclaimed.
