semi-colon [;] used in password during net join resulted in failure of net join

[Adarsha S]

Hi All,

While doing net join with password having semi-colon was giving error as
shown below:

/root # /usr/bin/net join -U winson%symbol;123 -s
/var/samba/smb.conf.primary
cannot join as standalone machine
/bin/sh: 123: not found


I would like to know if semi colon is allowed in user credential password?

Thanks,
Adarsha
