Hi,
Did you know that NetAppCache code has info in the binary mentioning the default admin password in clear text. This is definately a prob for security ??? This is part of the pdf docs bundled into the binary distrib. Obviously default passwords are changed to more secure passwords but it gives a intruder the first guess at trying to cause problems.
I understand the need to distribute pdf docs as there are useful for administration but password info in clear text could be overcome by encrypting the pdf's stored online(and in the binary distrib) and doing decryption of pdf info if required.
