$INCLUDE path/ and filenames with spaces
Hi, just a short note that I just tried that, but the file with spaces in its name did not get picked up at server start (while all the others in the same directory were). Not sure if this is known and maybe even intentional(?), but just in case others want to be just as fancy and have very nice filenames in your config... just don't :-) Greetings, Stefan Winter -- Stefan WINTER Ingenieur de Recherche Fondation RESTENA - Réseau Téléinformatique de l'Education Nationale et de la Recherche 2, avenue de l'Université L-4365 Esch-sur-Alzette Tel: +352 424409 1 Fax: +352 422473 PGP key updated to 4096 Bit RSA - I will encrypt all mails if the recipient's key is known to me http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xC0DE6A358A39DC66

Or "filenames with spaces in them" ... just don't. I still find it utterly weird that people even consider this sane for any use case. It's got "I'm going to cause you trouble at some point" written all over it. :-) Matthew (feeling old and cranky) -- Matthew Newton, Ph.D. <mcn4@le.ac.uk> Systems Specialist, Infrastructure Services, I.T.

When the server does: $INCLUDE dir/ It reads the directory. It doesn't care about the filenames. So filenames with spaces should work. When the server does: $INCLUDE file It reads the filename,

Yes. Filenames with spaces and other special characters are not handled well by most tools. Alan DeKok.
