[cobalt-users] root password stored in plain-text?



Say, is this normal??

[root admin]# cat /usr/man/man1/version.1.gz
_SSHD_ USER:root PASS:**MY_FRICKIN_ROOT_PASSWORD!!!!**

(where **MY_FRICKIN_ROOT_PASSWORD!!!!**  is my real honest-to-goodness
root/admin password in PLAIN TEXT!!)

Have I been pwned?

Cobalt RaQ4r
