nfs4_setfacl and principals with spaces

[Liam Gretton]

Hi,

nfs4_setfacl doesn't seem to be able to cope with spaces in the 
principal's name:

nfs4_setfacl -a A:fdg:"Domain Admins@domain.com":rwaDdxtTnNcCoy file

Scanning ACE string 'A:fdg:Domain' failed.
Failed while inserting ACE(s) (at index 1).

No variation of quoting or escaping seems to be able to work around this 
problem. Is this a known problem or is there a magic way to work around 
it that I haven't worked out?

I'm using 0.3.3 of nfs4-acl-tools as shipped with SLES 11.

If this hasn't been fixed in the whatever the latest version is I'd 
happily do so myself and submit a patch, but I can't find the source 
anywhere. I can only find a reference to a broken git link at 
<http://linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Client_ACL_tools>.

A bit more Googling and I found a git repository at 
<git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/nfs4-acl-tools.git>.

Assuming this really is the latest version I've now fixed the problem 
and will submit a patch to Bruce Fields.

If anyone thinks that's the wrong source for the ACL tools please let me 
know.
