SqueezeNetwork plugin logs SN password to server.log (Debian package)

Running a nightly .deb build of 7.0a, I noticed my SN password in cleartext within the server.logs. Not a huge deal, but kinda dumb too. Better to leave it out. [23:34:48.4194] Slim::Web::Settings::Server::Wizard::handler (115) plugin.musicmagic.port: 10002 [23:34:48.4197] Slim::Web::Settings::Server::Wizard::handler (115) server.weproxy: [23:34:48.4204] Slim::Web::Settings::Server::Wizard::handler (115) server.sn_email: tbsandee@pobox.com [23:34:48.4208] Slim::Web::Settings::Server::Wizard::handler (115) server.sn_password: notmyrealpassword [23:34:48.4211] Slim::Web::Settings::Server::Wizard::handler (115) server.audiodir: /home/music Having the password in the logs is just a bad idea because people blindly paste log files into emails, forums, bug reports (!).
OK, it seems it may be limited to the setup wizard because I wiped the logs and restarted the server and do not see the password any more.
Change 13361 - don't log data entered in the wizard; reduced the log-level to WARN, too
