I don't see this file in Exceed 6.1 for NT.  Do you have logging enabled?
The only file I saw was the hclmrul.ini file in
c:\(installdir)\(installuser) directory which contains the following:

[Host_name]
MAXITEMS=10
Host 0=myhostname
ITEMS=2
[User_name]
MAXITEMS=10
Host 0=myusername
ITEMS=2
[Command_name]
MAXITEMS=10
Host 0=mycommand
ITEMS=3
Host 1=mycommand
[Remote_name]
MAXITEMS=10
[Local_user]
MAXITEMS=10

There is a logging enable/disable function under XConfig.  However, I'm not
sure (and I doubt) it would affect the Remote Tools.

Hello All,

        I was just looking through my root directory and noticed a file
called test.log.  This file contains the machine name, username, and
password all in clear text for the machine that you are rexec'ing to.

Ex:

I don't know if anyone uses rtools but if you do and user rexec just
beware.
I was able to disable this by echo "" > c:\test.log ; attrib +r
c:\test.log.

        I apoligize if this is known and or not in the apropriate context
of
this list.
