From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021202 Description of problem: Try to configure a SMB printer to use via the redhat-config-printer-gui. If the SMB password contains a character which usually is escaped, the escape character ends up in the password string. To verify enable smbprint.log in /usr/share/printconf/util/smbprint 84c84 < #echo $share $password $translate $x_command > /tmp/smbprint.log --- > echo $share $password $translate $x_command > /tmp/smbprint.log and see what ends up in the smbprint.log Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. SMB password with e.g. '!' character 2. Try to use a SMB printer with the account which has '!' in the pwd 3. '!' is incorrectly escaped, with the escape character in the pwd Actual Results: Failure to perform requested operation & account lockout. Expected Results: Ability to perform requested operation. Additional info:
Plus the variables should be referenced as "$share", to avoid share='x`rm -rf /usr`y' surprises (generally, any shell metacharacters).
Oops, make that x='a b' surprises.
Using LPRng, right?
Right. Using LPRng.
'!' was being mistakenly escaped. Other characters need escaping though. Fixed package is redhat-config-printer-0.6.41-1.
