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

[Stefan Nehlsen]

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
