Hi,
Just being paranoid here, but sending the clear-text password over the network
to an xscreensaver-l'ed machine isn't very secure, it seems :) Or at least I
got the impression that's how xscreensaver works, from the manpage.
Don't know if there's any realistic reason to fix this, but I thought I'd
whine about it anyway.
-Thanks :)
Nickolai Zeldovich.
