This will address the problem that affects samba. The patch supplied in this PR would have been a bad idea, as the list of valid characters for a userid or group name is definitely different than the list of valid characters allowed in a gecos field. Perhaps the man page should be more explicit about those restrictions, but in any case samba users should be OK now. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=46890 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
