password synch and spaces...

[Ricardo Stella]

Ok...

Using 2.0.6... I enabled my own script to change passwords.

I have:

passwd chat = *New*Password* %n\n *SUCCESS*
passwd chat debug = True
unix password sync = True
passwd program = /usr/local/samba/private/mypasswd %u

Although the above works, for nonspaced passwords, it truncates %n if
there is a space in it.

Looking at the debug:

[2000/02/01 16:40:27, 100] smbd/chgpasswd.c:expect(229)
  expect: expected [*New*Password*] received [Enter New Password: ]
[2000/02/01 16:40:27, 100] smbd/chgpasswd.c:expect(205)
  expect: sending [test]
[2000/02/01 16:40:29, 100] smbd/chgpasswd.c:expect(229)
  expect: expected [123
  ] received []

The password that I used in this case was "test 123"

Any ideas on how to pass passwords that could contain spaces in them ?

TIA.
