    Hi folks,

    I have a problem when trying to connect to my F-Secure SSH Server on Windows
    2000:
    The username includes a whitespace, e.g. "firstname lastname". The server
    tells me, that the username includes illegal characters and closes the
    connection. The Windows event log shows the following information:
    illegal user name : 'User name contains illegal characters. (user '(null)',
    client address '127.0.0.1:3523', requested service '(null)')'

    Strange about that: When I use the server from www.ssh.com no error is
    raised and password authentication succeeds. Does the F-Secure server have
    some setting where whitespaces in usernames can be (dis)allowed?

    Thanks for your help!

    Kindest regards,

    Alex
