Bug#794000: GOsa²'s post-pwchange Hook (gosa-sync) cannot handle ";" (semikolon) in passwords

[Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel@das-netzwerkteam.de>]

Package: debian-edu-config
Severity: important
Version: 1.818

We encountered an important issue with GOsa² in Debian Edu: a user  
tried to change his password (via the adminstrative change password  
dialog).

The favourized password contains ";" (semicolon). Trying to use that  
password, results in

"""
Post-even Hook reported problem. Could not verify password for  
'<user>'. Nothing done... The password change has been cancelled.
""" (Translated from a German error message)

""" (German)
Post-even-Hook meldete ein Problem: Could not verify password for  
'<user>'. Nothing done... Die Passwortänderungen wurde abgebrochen.
"""

As the above message is produced by the debian-edu-config script  
gosa-sync (same error message is found in that script), it needs to be  
fixed there.

light+love,
Mike
