Bug Description
When filling out the password field in the Terminal Server Client, then saving the connection info to a file, the password is stored as plain text. Should consider hashing/salting it. I would say that anything is better than simply storing it in plain text.

Thank you for reporting this bug. tsclient has been removed from the Ubuntu 11.10 archives. The software has not had a new release in years and was no longer being maintained. Unfortunately that means this bug won't be fixed.
