I don't think this is a quoting problem. The problem is your hash mark. Remember that's a comment character, so you'll need to escape it (put a \ in front).
Try something like this: nmblookup -R $(eval echo "$username\#03") -U $nbns I don't think it's necessary to use the '\" stuff. Good luck. BTW, > $ nmblookup -R "jereme#03" -U merlin > > And I get back: > querying jereme on 192.168.0.200 > name_query failed to find name jereme#03 Is this what you expect? I've never used nmblookup, but it looks to me like your lookup command is failing as well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen W.
