Hi! The popup which asks for a PIN of a (UMTS-) modem has a cleartext field instead of a passwort textfield. This should be changed to a password field. Now when you are in a public place (like a train or a coffee bar) every one can see the entered PIN! In the connection configuration there is a password field with a checkbox "Show password" which is disabled by default. I don't know if this problem exist in NM 0.8, but since the update to NM 0.8.0.999/0.8.1 this is a real problem, especially because of bug #591723 where this popup shows up everytime the modem is connected although the PIN is already specified in the connection config. best regards Achim _______________________________________________ Secure-testing-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/secure-testing-team
