Package: gosa
Version: 2.5.15-2
Severity: normal

During GOsa setup, I entered a randomly generated admin password,
which happened to contain a '<' character.  Setup passed this character
unescaped into the generated gosa.conf.  Then when I tried to start
GOsa, I got an XML parser error.  Replacing '<' by '&#x3C;' in
gosa.conf resolved the problem.

I'm not able to find a definitive list of which characters aren't
allowed unescaped into an XML xs:string type, but it seems that

  < > " '

are all on the list and will have to be escaped in order to avoid
parsing errors.

Thanks,
Andrew.
