[one-users] Error starting the one service for version 1.3.8 and subversion

[Ruben S. Montero]

Hi,

Yes you are totally right storing a password in an env variable
presents serious security risks. This is an issue of the current beta,
we plan to move ONE_AUTH to point to a file that contains the
user:password token. This file must be protected with the standard
file system mechanisms.

Does it makes sense to you?

Cheers!

Ruben
