*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Binary package hint: tsclient

TSclient is still saving the RDP passwords in a text file, without any
encryption. This is a major security risk. I'm currently using Remmina,
but I don't want to advise any specific software, as there are several
alternatives to this software. It should just encrypt the saved
passwords, or use Seahorse.

Also, the TSclient version currently used in Ubuntu is two years old.
It's now lacking some nice features available in other softwares (like
tab browsing, image scaling...).

I think it would make sense to consider other candidates, at least until
this security problem is fixed. I'm a network administrator, I really
can't accept to save all my Windows servers password like that on my
hard drive.
