Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2012-05-31 08:14:40 UTC

It was found that sosreport's "anaconda" plugin collects /root/anaconda-ks.cfg, which contains the root password for the system, possibly crypt'd, possibly plain.

sosreport should blank this password in a similar way to the ldap plugin's treatment of bindpw in /etc/ldap.conf
