Password == "bla%1" (shooting into my foot)

hello, trying to get freeradius working (again) I figured out a strange behaviour: Authentication with CHAP as my testaccount failed until I tried it with PAP first. After one (or more) successful authentifications with PAP CHAP works. It took some time until I figured out that my password contained a % and the daemon tried some variable substitution. don't do this! How do I escape special chars in the users file and what characters are special? Stefan -- Stefan Nehlsen | ParlaNet Administration | sn@parlanet.de | +49 431 988-1260
