We noticed that when you connect to a cvs repository using extssh, you supply a password. We assume that password is persisted in the eclipse metadata somewhere. Our concern is that we now have a password to our fileserver sitting on disk somewhere, either unencrypted or in some readily decryptable form. Is this true? Should we be concerned?
