Summary

Description

When I go through a fresh installation of packetfence, at the point I need to run configurator.pl script, and asks for a password for the database, if the password contains special characters like $, the password will be truncated in pf/conf/pf.conf.default and the service will fail when starting.

[root@localhost pf]# service packetfence restart
