The mailing list for users of the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT)

[Tomasz Wolniewicz <twoln AT umk.pl>]

Actually, there is one more weakness to the current approach. We are
using the standard approach of creating a "hidden" directory
".cat_installer" and place all files there. This is perfectly fine for
Network Manager automatic configuration, but if we expect the user to do
something with these files, a casual user will have a problem of even
locating them.

Of course leaving things as they are now (perhaps indeed as Alan
suggests the real password could be replaced with some descriptive text)
is easier for me, so if people think it is of use, then I am happy to
follow their advice, so if there are people on this list who share my
concerns about possible confusion we may be creating, please speak up :).
Cheers
Tomasz
