They do need to fix that no matter what our issues are on the winbind side. Thanks for opening that bug. The separator is set like this to be the same as windows, since we are trying to interoperate with windows. It was a long-running debate upstream. Following the very strict posix spec would not be possible as there are only 3 punctuation characters, which are often enough used in usernames. + was used at one point (also invalid by this spec), and this created other problems. I realize this creates other problems, including the need to escape the \ in many situations. But in the end, we've decided the windows format provides the best user-familiar answer. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
