Special Characters in fstab and nsmb.conf

[senouf]

How does one treat special characters, especially spaces " ", when mounting a Samba share in fstab, together with a set of credentials in nsmb.conf:

In nsmb.conf (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?...th=FreeBSD+9-current&arch=default&format=html),

One uses:

[section_name]
key=value

such as

[SERVER:USER:SHARE]
password=mypassword

If the share name contains a space or any other special character, how does one include that in the above statement?

Furthermore, how does one enter the corresponding share name with a space entry in fstab (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mount_smbfs&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+9-current):

//user@server[:port1[:port2]]/share node

Thanks.

Unfortunately I can't tell you for certain, but for fstab I do suggest you either wrap it in double quotes or escape the space with a backslash, eg:

"//user@server[:port1[:port2]]/share node"
//user@server[:port1[:port2]]/share\ node

I would guess you don't need to do anything for nsmb.conf.
