Actual results: kudzu does not match devices and regenerates files Expected results: copes with quoted parameters and uses existing files Additional info: -- Additional comment from mpoole on 2007-06-11 05:07 EST -- Created an attachment (id=156685) patch to handle quoted parameters -- Additional comment from mpoole on 2007-06-11 05:10 EST -- Created an attachment (id=156686) patch to handle quoted parameters -- Additional comment from notting on 2007-06-14 12:57 EST -- Note: this requires respinning initscripts too. There's something to be said for 'don't mis-edit files', though. :) -- Additional comment from pm-rhel on 2007-10-15 23:57 EST -- This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.

As that's legal (if odd) for the device name, I'm somewhat inclined to not dequote that parameter. (And no, I don't want to introduce escapes.)
