I was looking at the source code and I figured the reason it
wasn't working was because the call to the chpaswd program ran like this:
chpasswd user oldpassword &\*\(
To the linux server, that looks like a call to chpasswd to run in the background.
When the new password is "&*(", a call to quotmeta converts it to
&\*\(
[That is all the meta characters are prefixed with a \]
All I had to do was use str_replace "&" by "\&" and it works fine!
Regards,
Manu
