Thanks.

Yes, it would probably be a useful feature for some,

but, it's also a big security breach to save passwords. I think some 
people have moved to OpenVPN for this very reason, to protect agains users 
saving their passwords, like they could with the MS VPN client...

So, I'd like to get more input from the list whether you want such a 
feature or not?
