Description Fabiano Fidêncio 2017-05-30 13:46:41 EDT

Description of problem:
Any fedora/rhel password set that has "$" as part of it will be interpreted by the shell as an env var.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 20170225


How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. express-install a fedora/rhel machine using GNOME Boxes
2. set the password as "foo$bar"
3. try to login into the machine

Actual results:
As $bar is not an env var, it'll be expanded to foo"" and the user only will be able to login with the password "foo".

Expected results:
User would be able to login into the system using the "foo$bar" password.

Additional info:
Just backport the following patch: 254fc8f16505c03ca79f2f307af3011c8269fc7e
