Package: gnome-ppp
Version: 0.3.23-1
Severity: normal


The login password for the ISP is stored in cleartext in the user's home 
directory.  This makes gnome-ppp unsuitable for situations such as 
letting another user have internet access with the password prefilled 
(with .wvdial.conf in their home directory of course).
