As long as it is not in plain text in a file on the filesystem I do not care.
We want users to be able to set up wireless connections and select available networks. As far as I have acertained this is accomplished by giving them rights to org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system. If we do this passwords WILL be stored in plain text in /etc. Storing passwords in plain text will *allways* and in any circumstances be a bad design. The VPN test I set up did not store my password in plain text, and yet mysteriously managed to start again without prompting me for a password. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1060907 Title: NetworkManager stores wifi passwords in plain text To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1060907/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
