mpp 96/04/01 12:28:14 Added: mail/popclient/patches patch-ab Log: If a password is given on the command line, zero it out instead of overwriting it with *'s. This prevents potential hackers looking at 'ps' output from determining how long the password is, which could help them crack the password. This patch has been forwarded to the popclient author.
