Description of problem: Remote commands on stock Spacewalk 2.1 are stripped of special characters: ()[]{}<> on execution. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.1 How reproducible: Easily able to be reproduced on stock 2.1 install. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run a remote command such as: #!/bin/bash foo="bar"; echo ${foo}; Actual results: When the command completes, you'd see: #!/bin/bash foo="bar"; echo $foo; Expected results: Commands should not be stripped and you should see the command that we originally entered. Additional info: It appears that workaround has been identified in the following mailing list entries: http://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2014-April/msg00021.html http://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2014-May/msg00086.html
Should have been fixed in SW 2.2 - please re-open if that is not the case
