Names with spaces can be made to work work with LDAP (i.e. CN=John Doe, UID=jdoe (and is for that matter already more or less implemented with the smbldap-tools for groups) but it's *a bad idea* and will break many tender things, complicate others unnecessarily. Posix-based systems were never meant for this. --Tonni -- mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.billy.demon.nl -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
