This should be allowed, because such URLs are used for Voice over IP. >How-To-Repeat: When attempting to use a colon in the phone field, chfn gives the following message: chfn: illegal character in the "office phone" field re-edit the password file? [y]: >Fix: Since the GECOS information is stored in the passwd file, where colons are used as delimiters, some means of quoting or encoding the colon will be necessary. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
