Fixed. Please see my patch. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3027: installer: password do not allow special characters http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/3027#change-13875 * Author: liweitianux * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: installer * Target version: master ---------------------------------------- Yesterday I tried install DFly (4.8.0-release) within VirtualBox, and found that the *installer* do NOT allow *special characters* (":;,`~!@#$%^&*()+={}[]\\|/?<>'\" ") in the *password* field. See also the attached screenshots. On the other hand, I can set password with special characters using the "passwd" command after installation. In addition, the *installer* allow special characters in the passphrase for disk encryption. The corresponding source code is "usr.sbin/installer/dfuibe_installer/fn_configure.c" line 85: #define PW_NOT_ALLOWED ":;,`~!@#$%^&*()+={}[]\\|/?<>'\" " Why place such a constrain on the user/root password? ---Files-------------------------------- dfly_4.8_password.png (7.08 KB) 0001-Installer-allow-special-characters-in-passwords.patch (4.86 KB) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
