[SM-PLUGINS] vacation_local "Bad Password"

[greg wm <squ...@nv...>]

hi folks,

apparently vacation_local is somehow sensitive to $ in the user's password.

if a user's password is set to 242aba$@%
attempting to enter the vacation_local plugin gets:

*ERROR:* An error occurred uploading the file: Bad password

if the user's password is set to 242aba%@% ($ changed to %)
it then works fine.

we're not using ldap, simple /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow setup.
RPMs:
kernel-2.6.9-11.EL
httpd-2.0.52-12.1.ent.centos4
php-4.3.9-3.8
squirrelmail-1.4.3a-12.EL4.centos4
courier-imap-4.0.3-1
source:
vacation-1.2.6.1.tar.gz
vacation_local-2.0-1.4.tar.gz

this is of course easy to workaround.  change the password.  but if 
anybody happens to come up with a fix of course i would rather be able 
to tell my users my server is clever enough that they can keep their 
favourite password and still use the squirrelmail vacation feature too..

cheers and thanks,
greg
