Summary: wrong regexp in openserctl

Initial Comment:
a hyphen "-" is AFAIK also a valid character for a
username. Thus, the regexp's should be corrected.

[a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-] ???

klaus


# check the parameter if it is a valid address of
record (user at domain)
  154 check_aor() {
  155 	echo "$1" | $EGREP "^[a-zA-Z0-9_\.]+ at .*\..*"
>/dev/null
  156 	if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
  157 		echo "error: invalid AoR: $1" > /dev/stderr
  158 		exit 1

Hi!

USERNAME_RE="[a-zA-Z0-9&=\+\$,;\?/-_\.\!~\*'\(\)]+"

does not work for me. The problem is that - is a special
character inside a set declaration. The strange thing is
that escaping with \- does not work too :-(

A workaround is to put the - at the beginning:
USERNAME_RE="[-a-zA-Z0-9&=\+\$,;\?/_\.\!~\*'\(\)]+"

Klaus,

please could you check if the fix is ok and if it doesn'r
break anything else?
if works ok, I will backport it to 1.1.0.

thanks,
bogdan

Klaus,

according to the RFC, in the username name part you may have:

user  =  1*( unreserved / escaped / user-unreserved )
user-unreserved = "&" / "=" / "+" / "$" / "," / ";" / "?" / "/"

unreserved  =  alphanum / mark
mark        =  "-" / "_" / "." / "!" / "~" / "*" / "'"
             / "(" / ")"

which means you may find (unescaped) the following non
alphanumerical char: & = + $ , ; ? / - _ . ! ~ * ' ( )

right?
