Description
In the saved config.xml, user passwords are (?salted and) hashed, and so are PPP passwords.
But passwords for Anyterm and Ntop are stored in plain text in the XML file.
As a remote shell login package, Anyterm's password and probably also username, really should be salted+hashed, as both are part of the authentication data to be entered by the remote user during their login process.

Anyterm package no longer exists. Plus really, https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Why_are_some_passwords_stored_in_plaintext_in_config.xml
