Blanks spaces in Usernames

[stanoc]

All,

Is there a way to include spaces in the username when setting up new users in the GUI.
If there has been a request for this please forgive me. I searched and could not find anything on this.

thanks

I think this is not (yet) supported, as space character is explicitly banned at this time.

In order to support it we would have to do a full code audit to make sure all subsystems play nice with space character.

As we've discussed internally, AD is one of the biggest offenders in this space.

I really don't think it's a good idea for Unix usernames and groups though because it would potentially break assumptions in the underlying base system apps and 3rd party apps.
