[Freeswitch-users] Passwords in clear text

[Anthony Minessale]

the sofia library we depend on requires you to feed it plain passwords for
outbound auth.
We would have to pressure them to expose a way for us to pre-hash them.

As an alternative, you can always use xml-curl + https url to fetch the
configs from your db on the fly over a secure
connection but that won't stop the hacker from running gcore on fs and
finding them in the ram somewhere just like if someone wants to break into
your house he can just take a chainsaw and cut a hole in the side and walk
in.
I'll ask the guy next time i talk to him.
