Cloginvs dollar signs

[Gee-clough, Aaron (NIH/CIT)]

Hmmm...I took that script, named it clogin.new, and ran it with this in the
cloginrc:
add user lab-*.nih.gov      te$t
add userpassword lab-*.nih.gov      te$tpass

The result:

[rancid at lithium rancid]$ clogin.new lab-pix.nih.gov

Error: can't read "t": no such variable



Is there something else I should change to handle the new script?

Thanks.

Aaron

I think that I have this one nailed.

I believe that what happens is proc find() actually returns a list.  because
one of the values, your password, contains a meta-character ($), tcl decides
that it should protect us by deferring (or is it protecting) the
eval/expansion of what would be a variable (ie: $net).

That may not be exactly correct, but...  join()'ing the value seems to fix
this; Which i've wrapped around all the find() calls which return a string
that may include a meta-character or a non-integer.  That is, "password" and
"user", but not "autoenable" or "method".
