Description Alex Wright 2007-08-20 12:26:09 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 4.1 
OS:                Linux

If you configure KNetworkManager to store passwords unencrypted, save them, then later change to using KWalletManager, the passwords in the configfile are not deleted.

Expected Behavior:

Passwords cleaned out of config files when they are no longer used.

Ahh, They get removed on the next startup of KNetworkManager.

Less serious, but a crash could still expose private data. I'd expect the cleanup to occur immediately.
