[fetchmail]replacement of passwd by *

2001-03-12 10:09:00
Hi,

when running fetchmail -v the password is replaced by *. That's good.
However if the password is a substring for exapmle of the login this
part of the login is replaced by *, too. I think this is an easy way of
finding out someone's password if someone sees the output of
fetchmail -v. Maybe I'm too paranoid but I think this should be fixed so
that only the password is *ed out.
