HMC: issues with pedbg file

When creating pedbg file, bash history for all users is collected. This is not documented in https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1025006 as transmitted data.
In addition, pedbg file is not encrypted.

    Please see comments in previous sequence. bash history & clear text password is handled with RFE 125826

    Hi,

    Document at https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1025006 is not meant to be a list of all possible files collected in pedbg. There is no plans currently to update the list. However, the clear text password issue bash history will be fixed with another RFE 200252 and permissions on the pedbg file will be updated to make it not world readable.

    Thanks.
