Description

When defining local users in L2TP and PPPoE, there are two issues with passwords:

1. Passwords should not be allowed to start with "!" which has special meaning to mpd (defines an external auth command, not a password)
2. Double quotes (") in passwords should be escaped as \" or it will break the user definition
