           Summary: Special characters like $ and § are not supported in
                    password attribute of sshexec task
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.8.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


if a password contains one of the specified characters, the sshexec task
executing a Unix script fails with the error: "Caught exception: Auth fail".

The error persists definitely since the version 1.7.0 (maybe even longer) and
is not fixed in v.1.8

At least a clear error message, describing what went wrong, would be of great
help, if supporting these special characters turns out to be a complex issue.

a hint in the documentation about which characters are not supported would be
nice.
