Summary

0001348: Configurator.pl does not accept special character as password.

Description

When I go through a fresh installation of packetfence, at the point I need to run configurator.pl script, and asks for a password for the database, if the password contains special characters like $, the password will be truncated in pf/conf/pf.conf.default and the service will fail when starting.

[root@localhost pf]# service packetfence restart

Notes
(0002865) dwuelfrath (administrator) 2012-08-03 10:03	Since PacketFence 3.5.0, installer.pl and configurator.pl scripts have been removed. A new web based configurator have been introduced. Feel free to reopen in any case.
