However, ppp.8 doesn't explain this at all. Without description of this feature, some trouble happens. For example, authkey pa$ssword is transformed info ' authkey pa'(if $ssword is undefined), and authentication 'mysteriously' fails. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Add proper description of '$', '~', and '/'. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
