I can't confirm fully - linux can handle spaces as well as windows can
(take as example a look on file systems from win and linux). Its more
program specific like wbinfo.
Thats why I want to come back to the wbinfo command: how can I query
with it for username with the space. Maybe, when I get the wbinfo
command working - it will also work in squid...

thanks for the hint - but the ldap querys are really urgly, because you
have to match the memberof with the ou at the same time. I had it
running, but want to switch to winbind, because it is 1. little bit more
secure (ntlm/kerberos) and more easy (to complicated ldap querys).
