Remove ! from file names

[MrJamesEllis]

Hi

I've been using lampcms and one thing I've noticed is the ! in the file "!config.ini"
Having a ! in the filename makes it tricky to open the file on the shell in vim or some other tool, it has to be escaped.

! starts a history lookup on the shell if it's not escaped correctly.

Could the ! be removed from the file name and the file be called config.ini ?

Thanks
James

Right, it also makes it harder to hack using shell script. This is a pretty
common pattern to add extra layer of security to config files. If you need
to rerference the file from shell just enclose it in quotes.
for example cat 'path/to/!config.ini'
