Hi,
ser2net uses : as field separator in ser2net.conf. Udev creates by-path and
by-id paths to identify unique serial ports. These paths are highly
useful as ttyUSB* might end up shuffling around.
But the by-path symlink has always a : in the filename, and by-id might:
# arndale
7001:telnet:0:'/dev/serial/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1.8.4.2:1.0-port0':115200
8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT
In this case the by-id doesn't, but it illustrates that the name comes
from the device and can have anything in the name.
The attached patch adds quoting to ser2net device name:
