Hi,

I noticed that the new mc maintainer for Red Hat/Fedora, Jindrich Novy
has made some patches to hide the FTP password in various dialogs. See
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=131088 and
http://www.pavelsh.pp.ru/wiki/doku.php?id=mc-bugs , "[RFE] hide password
in directory hotlist URL".

I requested Jindrich to create a fix to hide the password in the
directory hotlist. Maybe it's a good idea to apply these patches before
4.6.1, as they are security related. Anybody cares to test these
patches?

Leonard.
