Thank you for the reply, I have script-security 3 in my configs. All have been working just fine, and still working - except when using special characters in the password. An example: password1 is "pass", and its accepted and everything is working fine. Password2 is "passwördé", but the auth script will only see "passwrd" from this, skipping the special character. So, it simply skips the "not printable" characters.

Hi, You need --script-security 3 in order to get passwords passed to scripts.
