Description Need Real Name 2002-05-24 23:11:20 UTC 
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.

first beta of erratum is available at:

Most of the bugs reported have been removed, but as in every software change,
there could be new bugs introduced.

Please report bugs against this with explicitly stating the 1.0.1 version... Thx
and please test.
