Allowing these characters in sessname can lead to unexpected results,
particularly because / is used as a separator between files in a path,
and . points to the current directory.

It will be safer if you check for only allowed symbols and disallow
everything else. Check for: a-Z, 0-9 and "-".
Hi Leon,

Thanks for your suggestions.
The reasons we choose to do disallow only '/' and '.':
1 more flexible, most UNIX filenames allow any 8-bit set, except '/' and null.
So you need to add all possible protections and checks that VFS has to allow "random" name.
2 matching for 2 characters is faster than checking all the allowed
symbols during session establishment.
Extra CPU cycles won't make any difference here.
3 we do use hostnameA@hostnameB for production usage right now, we
don't want to break the user space.
You can add "@" into the list of accepted symbols.
I hope this makes sense to you.

Regards!
