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
