Does anyone else see it as a concern that the Jabber server (1.4.2
release) and popular transports (aim-t, jit, msn-t, and yahoo-t) save
user account information (user name and password) in plaintext for
anyone with read access on the Jabber server to see?

of very specific tools to accomplish larger tasks. -- Vineet Kumar
