Hiding Passwords in Debug Output

I understand that it is sometimes useful to display the plain-text
password in the debug output; however, I consider this a security
exposure.  I'd like to see a configuration option (e.g.,
debug_show_passwords or something similar) with a default of no, that
when set to false/no would write "********" instead of a plain-text
password in debug output.  Currently, modules rlm_ldap, rlm_pap, and
perhaps others write the plain-text password in debug output.

 

Your thoughts?
