[hylafax-users] password disclosure



Dear HylaFAX friends,

After upgrade to hylafax-4.3.4 on FreeBSD 6.2 I have found following
messages in /var/log/messages/

Nov 15 15:15:31 sun HylaFAX[93545]: PAM checking user "patrick" pass "(null)" from "192.168.1.61"
Nov 15 15:15:31 sun HylaFAX[93545]: PAM checking user "patrick" pass "test" from "192.168.1.61"

Password test is the __actual__ password of user patrick. I do not
think it is a good idea to disclosure passwords in /var/log/messages/
in general, unless explicitly asked for or set in a configuration file.

Met vriendelijke groeten,
With kind regards,
Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
De jrus wah,

Willy
