           Summary: Can't specify files with whitespace in the name in
                    ssh_config
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: PPC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: harry at scms.waikato.ac.nz


I can't find any way to specify an IdentityFile or UserKnownHostsFile with
whitespace in the name.  For example if ssh_config contains one line,

UserKnownHostsFile=/Library/Application\ Support/Miranda/known_hosts

and I run the command

ssh -F ssh_config miranda at miranda

I get the error message

ssh_config line 1: garbage at end of line; "Support/Miranda/known_hosts".

I've tried various combinations of quote marks and backslashes with and without
the equals sign.

ssh -V reports

OpenSSH_3.4p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090609f

Thanks,

  Harry.
