Hi Wayne,
are you sure you tried it with the 'path' directive?
The replacement of %USER% is working if I take another
non-P_PATH/P_STRING value, so the following code does the expansion:
/* now switch on the type of variable it is */
switch (parm_table[parmnum].type) {
case P_PATH:
case P_STRING:
/* delay expansion of vars */
break;
default:
/* expand any %VARS% now */
parmvalue = expand_vars(parmvalue);
break;
}
The important thing is the comment 'delay expansion of vars': these vars
should be expanded later in the code because e.g. the path will be
different for different users connecting.
But this 'delayed expansion' isn't done anywhere in the code ... at
least I cannot find another method call of 'expand_vars', do you?
Best regards,
Florian
