[pca] MOS user name with @ character?

[Diana Orrick]

I'm still getting the ERROR: 403: Service Error on a
simple single patch download attempt:
     /usr/sfw/bin/pca -d 119254 -V
I don't have "" around the user/pw in the pca.conf file.

I tried commenting out the user/pw entries in pca.conf,
but pca never prompted for info, moved on attempted to
connect and same error...
