From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020408 Description of problem: For example, a provider name of: Dad's provider produces many error messages when rp3 is run, and ultimately a segfault. The configuration file produced looks something like this: <cut> # for the documentation of these parameters. USERCTL=yes BOOTPROTO=dialup NAME='Dad's provider' DEVICE=ppp0 TYPE=Modem ONBOOT='no' </cut> As you can see, the ' character isn't handled properly. This is probably true of all types of connection, but I have only tested it for modem dialup connections Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a new network connection using the Internet Configuration Wizard 2. Set its provider name to to some text containing a single quote 3. Run rp3, preferably from the command line, as you get to see error messages that way. Actual Results: Printed a bunch of debug info, complaining about unexpected EOF's and not being able to close a single quote Expected Results: Should have dialed out Additional info: Workaround: delete the connection and recreate it with a single-quote-less name.
