sshd lense doesn't seem to handle groups with spaces

[davealden]

Hi,
I'm having problems using augeas on my sshd_config which has an AllowGroup with a space:

# grep AllowGroups /etc/ssh/sshd_config
AllowGroups math-domain-users "access admins"
# augtool print /files/etc/ssh/sshd_config/AllowGroups
/files/etc/ssh/sshd_config/AllowGroups
/files/etc/ssh/sshd_config/AllowGroups/1 = "math-domain-users"
/files/etc/ssh/sshd_config/AllowGroups/2 = ""access"
/files/etc/ssh/sshd_config/AllowGroups/3 = "admins""

Help?

Anyone? :)

Hi,
afaik groups under unix should match the pattern "[_a-z][-0-9_a-z]*$?" as in libmisc/chkname.c and the lense seems to keep to that concept.

i guess the compliant way to fix it would be to fix the groupname to the matching pattern.

disclaimer: i don't work in this project

rgds

Linux allows groups with spaces - I'm not happy about that, but it is what it is. :)

Our machines are bound to our Active Directory server and the Windows folks seem to love group names with spaces. There's no way we are going to get them to do away with them.

The current allowed value is /[^ \t\n]+/ indeed. I'd welcome a PR to fix that.
