Description of problem:
I tried registering for Redhat Network with a & in my password. The program
didn't warm me about this until the program tried to send all information to
Redhat. This failed with an error message concerning the & token in my password.
I had to fill in all information again te register. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Didn't try


Expected Results:  The program should have given me the option to give another
password.

I was able to create and acces an account via rhn.redhat.com with
non-alphanumeric characters in the userid and password, but when I try to log
into the account from the Red Hat Update Agent on a newly installed RH8.0
machine the client tell me it was unable to log into the server due to invalid
char's in the userid and password.
