Huh?

Imagine a person named "Franklin Q. Smith".  His Windows user name is
"Frank Smith", and his UNIX user name is "fsmith".

The username map contains:

   fsmith = "Frank Smith"

Should I use 'smbpasswd -a fsmith' or 'smbpasswd -a "Frank Smith"' to
add him to the database?  (security = user, BTW)
