Great, thanks!
I assume that this change would not be suited for 1.0. For 1.0 I'd like
to suggest an alternative minimal impact solution.
The biggest problem is that the configuration directive store-passwords
does more than it's name suggests, i.e. it disables storing of *any*
credentials, not only passwords. In fact is equivalent to the command
line option --no-auth-cache, so I propose to change the name of
store-passwords to store-auth-cache. We can add a real store-passwords
config option post 1.0.
I'll go ahead and produce such a trivial patch tonight, but I won't
commit it until we have decided how to manage changes at this point and
this change has been deemed safe enough.
I will start by creating an issue for this.
