* Previous releases of sos used inconsistent input sanitization rules depending on whether user name and case information was supplied interactively or read from system configuration files
* This caused sos to fail to properly sanitize certain invalid strings when read from configuration files and to apply different sanitization to the same strings when input interactively
* All name and number sanitization is now carried out in a single location and all input routines have been modified to use these routines
* Name and number sanitization rules are now applied consistently regardless of the source of the data
Description of problem:
when rhn user name contains character '/' in it, Sosreport is giving following error
/bin/sh: /tmp/sosreport-ABCD/XYZ-20111230154705.tar.xz: No such file or directory
/bin/tar: -: Cannot write: Broken pipe
/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/sosreport", line 23, in <module>
sosreport(sys.argv[1:])
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sos/sosreport.py", line 843, in sosreport

fp = open(self.report_file, "r")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/sosreport-ABCD/XYZ-20111230154705.tar.xz'
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sos-2.2-17
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
2. Edit value of field 'username'. Add '/' character in username. e.g.
<name>username</name>
<value><string>abc/xyz</string></value>
3. Run command
# sosreport
Actual results:
Sosreport is giving following error
/bin/sh: /tmp/sosreport-ABCD/XYZ-20111230154705.tar.xz: No such file or directory
/bin/tar: -: Cannot write: Broken pipe

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/sosreport-ABCD/XYZ-20111230154705.tar.xz'
Expected results:
Sosreport should trim down character '/' from rhn username and continue..
