Passwords and Symbols

[Quilnux]

I've noticed that certain symbols for passwords are not permitted. Examples include !, #, $, %, & etc.

First, is there a reason for this that causes a security risk to include them, and second, if the answer to the first question is no, is there a way to implement them into the server?

This is standard security for Django passwords I think. I don't know offhand why this is, but I guess they have a reason for it.

I don't know much personally about Django. I guess I'll have to go look at that further. Thanks!
