Title: Warning for Linux users running bitcoind, litecoind, xxxcoind... Post by: bitfish on May 24, 2013, 05:18:22 PM If you are running bitcoind, litecoind or any other coin daemon from the command line,
you better check your .bash_history file (and .viminfo file, if you are using vim editor) for wallet password leaks. Your wallet encryption isn't worth a dime if your wallet password is stored in one of those files above. Put the line HISTIGNORE="*pass*" into your .bashrc file preventing bash shell from remembering you wallet password and other password strings. Enjoy! bitfish Title: Re: Warning for Linux users running bitcoind, litecoind, xxxcoind... Post by: wormbog on May 24, 2013, 05:22:37 PM Came for more info about xxxcoin, I am disappoint.

Simply replace xxx with the name of your favorite Since these coins are springing up nowadays faster than mushrooms after a heavy shower, it's really hard keeping up.

You can also add: export HISTCONTROL=ignorespace to your .bashrc Now if you type a command with a space in front of it, it won't get saved to your history file.

I've since added it to my .zshrc file. And check you backups (I'm sure you have a backup ;D ) Go to the root dir of your backup drive and do a: Code: #find ./ -name .bash_history -exec rm {} \; or even better: Code: #find ./ -name .bash_history -exec wipe -f {} \;(You need wipe installed) |
