I have set up shellinabox on my home system to allow me to connect from the web browser in my Amazon Kindle.
I have it working OK to the extent that I can log in as a user whose password has no special characters in it, so the basic communications and connections are working.
However my own password has non-alphanumeric characters in it and when I try and log in from the Kindle using shellinabox it always fails authentication. It fails if I log in directly or if I try and 'su -' from the login that I can do successfully.
Logging in to shellinabox from Firefox works OK.
So the Kindle->shellinabox connection is losing/changing something. When I type the non-alphanumeric characters in the working login they are echoed correctly so it's down to something in the interaction with login I think.
Can anyone suggest a way of diagnosing this?
