samba - Jun 2004 - Re: Apostrophes in Windows usernames (again)

We tried that also.  It didn't work either.  But since I was pointed to bug
1221, I removed the matching of an apostrophe in util_str.c (fell back to
2.2 behaviour) and that looks like it works.  My user is able to map his
shares again.

Thanks for all who helped.

Mike

What happens if you escape the apostrophe with a backslash, like this:

unixid = o\'brienta

Thanks for pointing that one out, I'm going to merge that for 3.0.5.
