Description Orion Poplawski 2013-12-12 17:18:52 UTC 
Description of problem:

It would be good if abrt filtered out "rootpw" lines from anaconda reports.  I know this is in the ks.cfg and the traceback files, perhaps others.
Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2014-11-04 23:48:44 UTC 
I think this is fairly important.  How can I help?
Comment 2 Jakub Filak 2014-11-05 06:33:55 UTC 
It is already possible to highlight such lines, but auto-removing is not implemented yet. Would the highlighting be an acceptable solution to you?
Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2014-11-05 15:46:10 UTC 
It's better than nothing, but it should be auto-removed, especially since the text mode reporter makes it quite hard to find.
Comment 4 Jakub Filak 2014-11-06 07:33:31 UTC 
Ah, I forgot on the text mode reporter. Hence I am adding a simple auto-remove utility for Anaconda reports in the following pull request:
https://github.com/abrt/libreport/pull/301

The pull request also enables highlighting of "rootpw" lines in the GUI reporter.

Vratislav, could you please take a look at that pull request?

Looks good to me.
Comment 6 Jakub Filak 2014-11-26 10:06:51 UTC 
I opened another pull request for a patch making libreport aware of anaconda-tb:
https://github.com/abrt/libreport/pull/305

libreport cannot highlight all forbidden words in that file because the file contains too many false positives.
Comment 7 Orion Poplawski 2014-11-26 15:18:33 UTC 
Would be nice to get this into F21 Final.
Comment 8 Scott Suehle 2014-11-26 20:15:47 UTC 
Discussed at today's blocker review meeting [1]. Accepted as a AcceptedFreezeException. A fix for this would be considered during freeze.

I can find this bug report in the log. Has this bug exception or not?
Comment 12 Adam Williamson 2014-12-05 19:43:39 UTC 
It did, but we exercised discretion not to put it in the final week composes as by that point we're really in 'hair-on-fire changes only' mode. Sorry about that!
Comment 13 Adam Williamson 2014-12-05 19:44:43 UTC 
21 is done, cleaning blocker process metadata.
