Eric, I'm affraid we'd need different solution to the problem. If we start to strip only lines where the hash sign is at the first position, we might break things for people who actually have comments in their config files on the data lines. Also, similar fix would most likely be needed for the Perl and Java stacks as well. Presumably, we'd need some other way to quote the password entries (as well as other entries that might include the hash sign or different "unsafe" characters). -- Jan Pazdziora Principal Software Engineer, Satellite Engineering, Red Hat _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
