I wonder if you forgot to re-create the passwd file (normally C:\Program
Files\OpenSSH\etc\passwd)after creating your new ('unspaced') user
identity "joanna"? I mention this because I made the same mistake.
I am sure spaces in the user name are NOT a problem. I've been playing
on two windows machines, one XP Pro with a 'spaced' user name, and the
other on 2000 Pro with an 'unspaced' user name. Both work fine.
