Problems handling spaces in usernames?

The only person I want to login with COPSSH has a space in their account name, and COPSSH's user activation doesn't handle it very well! I tried changing the name of the account to something without a space, but the activation menu doesn't seem to be picking up the change. Has anyone had this problem before?

Re: Problems handling spaces in usernames?

I found a workaround. I went into the activation script file and added quotes around any references I could find to $user and $userhome. When I ran the script it returned a bunch of chmod errors, but it seemed to do something because I can now log in...

Re: Problems handling spaces in usernames?

Thanks for your feedback. I will update activation/deactivation scripts to be able to handle spaces in usernames. They will be made a part of the next release.
