> We use org.jboss.security.plugins.FilePassword to avoid storing passwords in clear text. Once created, we'd like to change the file's permission to read-only for regular users in order to ensure that only trusted users can update it.
> However, this won't work as the class FilePassword always requires write permission even for decoding the password. The class should be modified so that write permission is only required when create / update the password file.
