I know it's ridiculous, but I have a userbase where every username has a space in it. IE: "temp user". Is it possible to use samba to authenticate these users? So far I have been able to accept usernames without spaces flawlessly, but not the ones with spaces. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/authenticating-NT-users-with-space-in-username--tf2756812.html#a7687140 Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Samba] authenticating NT users with space in username?
Are you sure you are not looking at the user's full name? I'm pretty sure Windows does not allow usernames with spaces.
