Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)
 

Yep, fair comment.
Seems pointless to go to the effort of encrypting things if they are stored in plain text somewhere I agree.
As root I can read /opt/smscon/smscon.log in plain text with all information shown too.

One issue you may have is causing SMSCON to misbehave if you edit it's files. Especially if you have the GUI open while editing, this in my past experience causes havoc to the settings file.

An alternative option is possibly to set a root password so you have to enter a password to get root.

Is it possible to change the code so it doesn't log passwords (and maybe usernames and hostnames)?

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)
 

Hi, you can read the logs only as root..

Nevertheless, the majority of the sensitive info is stored after usage of the editor application.
I propose when you complete your edits and close the editor application or in regular intervals you can execute the following as user to delete all logs:
One other way of course is to modify the code. There are some flags you can set to disable logging.

Can you please point us to the latest version of the code?

Anyone is planning on porting SMScon to Sailfish?

I would love to if had more time. So, no plans to do that for the moment.

Thanks a lot! Really hope you'll find time, SMScon is extremely powerful and versatile, even though Jolla's plans seem good too (thanks for the link by the way).

If I may go back to the subject again...In Reverse SSH, changing a field other than the server password will cause all the settings, including the password in plain text, to be written to the log file.

So deleting the log file will not help if you subsequently change e.g. the port number; the username and password will be recorded in the (fresh) log file.

Just thought I'd warn the users.
