Description Ted X Toth 2007-06-21 14:34:28 UTC 
Description of problem:
pam_namespace cannot polyinstantiate directories that have spaces in their name.
The configuration file processing code uses strtok_r with delimiters space and
tab. There is no functionality to allow escaping of spaces or quoting of strings
so that paths with spaces can be specified.

Additional info:
I utilized a small piece of open source code (argv_parse) to parse the config
file lines because I'd basically have to do something like this to fix the code
anyway and this was eaiser.
