Bug #3027: installer: password do not allow special characters
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/3027#change-13882

* Author: liweitianux
* Status: Closed
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Category: installer
* Target version: master
----------------------------------------
Yesterday I tried install DFly (4.8.0-release) within VirtualBox, and found that the \
*installer* do NOT allow *special characters* (":;,`~!@#$%^&*()+={}[]\\|/?<>'\" ") in \
the *password* field.  See also the attached screenshots.

On the other hand, I can set password with special characters using the "passwd" \
command after installation.  In addition, the *installer* allow special characters in \
the passphrase for disk encryption.

The corresponding source code is "usr.sbin/installer/dfuibe_installer/fn_configure.c" \
line 85: #define	PW_NOT_ALLOWED	":;,`~!@#$%^&*()+={}[]\\|/?<>'\" "

Why place such a constrain on the user/root password?
