Bug#342154: ssh: Certain chars in password break logins
Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4
Severity: normal
The use of certain characters appears to break
logins. I was only able to log into a box that
maintain after removing certain characters from
the login. In particular the % character seemed
to cause trouble.
