Thank you for your support. It is indeed true that the file is world-readable, 
but as it doesn't contain any passwords by default, this is not a user 
security hole. Of course the admin can add a password there, but that's fully 
optional and a responsible admin will check the permissions of a file where 
he puts a password in.

Of course the file could add a hint/warning to set it to non-readable when 
setting the password, or even do it by default, but in both cases that would 
be an enhancement, not a bugfix.


cheers,
Thijs
