When a ~/.netrc file has a password with non-word
characters parsing fails. Since it is recommended to
use punctuation characters in passwords, this means
most netrc files can't be parsed. An example of a line
in ~/.netrc that fails:
machine piet.puk.com login foo password bar!
Additionally, entries in netrc may not have a login
name (e.g., for mail servers). These entries should be
silently skipped. An example of a line that fails:
machine mail password fruit
The included diff is a partial solution. It allows all
ASCII punctuation characters to be used in passwords.
Non-ASCII characters should probably also be allowed. |
