Description Beetle B. 2004-07-25 13:48:24 UTC
I have a remote account whose userid includes the @ character.

If I try to access an FTP site or use the Shell link (available in the menu options) in Midnight Commander, I can't log in because of that character. A patch to fix this was posted on the Midnight Commander lists some years ago:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/mc/2001-June/msg00013.html

But it was never corrected in the main package.

I'm submitting a patch to correct this.

(Note: If you wish to test this out, try using mc to log here:

domain:mnnwz.net
userid:gentoo@mnnwz.net
pass:gentoo

(You'll need to do gentoo@mnnwz.net@mnnwz.net)



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load up mc
2.Go to the menu
3.Choose FTP Link
4.Type gentoo@mnnwz.net@mnnwz.net

Actual Results:  
It doesn't work without the patch.

Expected Results:  
Log in. (Ask for password, actually).

(Note: The patch fixes the problem. I'm posting this because I think the patch should make its way into the ebuild. Thanks.)
