Hi,

Try using the backslash before the special characters,

example password

#abc@def

\#abc\@def

I have fixed the problem.

The command is
stty kill '^X' intr '^C' erase '^W'

Shalom,

Note that special character support can be added to some degree with a trusted system. Even more flexibility can be added integrating it with ADS or an LDAP environment.

Good that your problem is solved.

These two characters @ and # have always been special in HP-UX but can easily be changed. @ will default to a line cancel and # is the backspace action. These defaults are stored in the tty driver and until recently, you could only change the value after login. However, starting with 11.00 (and patches), you can set the default cancel and backspace character with this command:

stty erase "^H" kill "^U" < /dev/ttyconf

Issue this command anytimne and from now on, the special meaning for # and @ will be removed. Add this line to a custom startup script and it remain for all logins.
