<p class="MsoNormal">In case your password has non-alphanumeric characters in it, try enclosing the variable substitution on the shell in single or double quotes. You can rule out if that is your issue by temporarily setting the password to just a random string
of only alphanumeric [A-Za-z0-9]. In my experience passwords with all kinds of characters will be properly quoted and used by clogin when they are set in {} inside .cloginrc .<o:p></o:p></p>
