Hello all,
             I am using a debian based system. I am using elinks behind a
proxy.  But in Options manager -> Protocols - > HTTP - > Proxy
configuration- > Password when I enter the text, it is shown as plain text
unlike that of xxxxxxxxx of firefox or even links2. More to my surprise
when I save it, it is clearly visible in my elinks.conf file.  Is there a
way to keep it hidden or atleast unreadable to others. I can change
permissions of elinks.conf but while my elinks is on, anyone can clearly
see it in options manager.

Thanks,
G.Chandra Mouli
