Not working for AD groups with spaces - chomod: unable to translate to a UID/GID
Authored by: mdwoernhard on Jun 16, '09 02:34:57AM
I tried this on Leopard 10.5.7 bound to AD (but not OD, no magic triangle) for the AD-group "Domain Users", but both command line and Sandbox application fail with error message:

chmod: Unable to translate 'INTRANET\domain' to a UID/GID

Looks like the space is the problem, and neither quoting or escaping did help (group:'INTRANET\domain users' ... "group:INTRANET\\domain\ users"). Since Sandbox neither handles this correctly, I am wondering if this is a parsing bug in chmod?
