hey all,

quick bug report / FYI.  my PPPoE provider gave me a password with 
random characters, including two dollar signs.

if you put a PPPoE password with dollar signs into the web interface, by 
the time it reaches /etc/pap-secrets and /etc/chap-secrets, the password 
is cut off at the first dollar sign.

i guess it has to do with shell variable expansion, and would guess that 
there are other bugs like this in the astlinux config generation scripts 
- might need a different approach in general to avoid all cases.
