Re: [Help-gnu-radius] User-Password character

[Tomoyasu Maitani]

Thank you for a kind reply.
I understand that User-Password can contain any characters.
But I have still problem when I try to do Radauth by command line
as follows;

//users file//
test    Auth-Type = Local,
                User-Password = "test=123!"
        Service-Type = Framed-User,
                Framed-Protocol = PPP

//Radauth//
# ./radauth -v test 'test=123!'
assign: invalid IP address: 123!
Password:

# ./radauth -v test "test=123!"
-bash: !": event not found

# ./radauth -v test password='test=123!'
Password:

As the above result, "test=123!" is does not recocnized as password
from command line. How should I specify the password from command
line?

Regards,
