Bug#420452: /usr/bin/ssh-agent: -a option does not support filenames with spaces
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.3p2-10
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/ssh-agent
$ ssh-agent -a "foo bar"
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=foo bar; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=22215; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
echo Agent pid 22215;
The "foo bar" socket is correctly created, but the returned shell code
does not work, as it is missing quotes.
