Mailing List Archive: conserver.cf and colons

unfortunately, there really isn't a way to make it work (directly,
anyway). the code uses a simple search for colons, so backslashes and
quotes just don't hide them. what you can do in this case (although
it's slightly ugly) is to write a wrapper that would accept something
like "conuser 7001 cyclades1" as arguments and then pass them to ssh
with the colon and approprate flags. yeah, not ideal, but it should
work.
