Thanks, that will be fixed.

This works for me. For example:
$ /usr/bin/mkpasswd
Password: [asdfasdf]
hxd5KFgDHk3NQ
operator {
name = "Dom";
user = "[email protected]";
password = "hxd5KFgDHk3NQ";
encrypted = "yes";
class = "opers";
};
Can you check this?

That's odd; it matches the syntax in the example file. I'll check upstream
about that.
