 |
|
| Is there a way to add a user to samba that has spaces in their name? Everything I've tried just errors out but I would expect this to be possible. |

Tried that....doesn't work

gentoo portage # smbpasswd -a "Joe User"
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Failed to initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user Joe User. Does this user exist in the UNIX password database ?
Failed to modify password entry for user Joe User |
OK, so I need a unix account....
| Quote: | gentoo portage # useradd -c "Test Account" "Joe User"
useradd: invalid user name 'Joe User' |
That's invalid... I also tried using "\ " but got the same results. |
