Hello,
I downloaded the latest source code to get rid of the security bugs hanging
around in older versions. After compiling I noticed messages about login
failures in the syslog file. This wouldn't be bad if the used password wasn't
written there unencrypted. If someone just mistypes one single character of
his/her password it would be very easy to crack the real password.
How do I get rid of these messages? Do I have to modify the source code or is
there an option that can be used when compiling that I haven't found yet?
(PS: I know that a pserver is not a very secure thing to use, but we have our
reasons why we must use it.)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
