In the CVS version of gnu-radius, I see the following list of acceptable
username characters: address@hidden&\\/
The ampersand is in there. If you cannot use a user with an ampersand
in your users file, check if adding the following line to your config
file helps:

   username-chars  "address@hidden&\\/:";  

This directive is used to set the list of allowable special characters
for gnu-radius. If this does not help, then please send your users file
entry to this list. It might be a problem in gnu-radius.
