samba - Feb 2003 - win2k usernames with spaces

Hi all,
	one of the win2k clients of my network uses an ID with
one space inside, e.g. "jack smith". I succeeded in creating a
Linux user with such a name, but have troubles in adding him to 
the smb users. 
Any suggestion?

PS Running RH 8.0 & Samba 2.2.5 When i had RH 6.2 & Samba ?.?.? the
trick worked out.

Thanx

did you try jack\ smith ?
i've never tried this..

another option would be to set up a user mapping 
between jack smith and jack_smith

I think most unix stuff will not deal well with the spaces in the names

This is what i tried:

- smbadduser "jack smith":"jack smith"
- smbadduser jack\ smith:jack\ smith
- smbadduser jack\ smith:"jack smith"
- smbadduser jacksmith:"jack smith"

And perhaps some other combiniation i don't remember.
Then i tried to modify the smbusers file as suggested:

jacksmith="jack smith"

And everything is OK now! I thank very much all of you.
