Quota on groups with spaces

[Johan Karel Maria Dams]

Hi all.

First post to this mailing list. I've been using LAM since recently - very
nice piece of software!

I found out today that setting quota on groups with spaces in their name,
such as would be the case if running a LDAP/SAMBA combination as PDC in a
Windows environment, is not possible. For example, it works fine for group
names such as "Administrators" but fails for "Domain Users".

I've tracked down the problem to lamdaemon.pl, specifically at

@vals = split (' ', $input);

Where the group name would be split as individual arguments.

I've made a quick workaround which just checks if the third
element in vals is 'quota' (instead of the normal second element), which
would mean a split has occured in a group name with a space:

#Deal with spaces in group names
if( ($vals[2] eq 'quota') ){

     #Glue the two parts of the groupname together again
     $vals[0] = $vals[0]." ".$vals[1];

     #Move everything one position back
     for($count = 1; $count < @vals-1; $count++){
       $vals[$count] = $vals[$count+1];
     }
}


Don't know if this is 100% correct and according to coding guidelines but
it seems to work, and if anyone else is running into this problem I hope
this will help them fix it.


Best regards,
Johan

thanks for the hint. LAM 2.9.0 will include a fix for this.
