Package: mytop Version: 1.9.1-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The mysql client allows values in .my.cnf to be quoted, while mytop understands quotes around the values in the file as being part of the value. As a result, there is no way to write .my.cnf in a way that'll allow hash symbols (#) in passwords. For example, this works in mysql but fails in mytop: [client] password="my#password" However, this works in mytop but fails in mysql: [client] password=my#password Thanks and best regards, Matt -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-45-pve (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages mytop depends on: ii libconfig-inifiles-perl 2.83-3 ii libdbd-mysql-perl 4.028-2+deb8u2 ii libdbi-perl 1.631-3+b1 ii libterm-readkey-perl 2.32-1+b1 ii perl 5.20.2-3+deb8u6 Versions of packages mytop recommends: ii perl [libtime-hires-perl] 5.20.2-3+deb8u6 mytop suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
