Putting mjt in the loop: Are you aware that backslashes in user names are a rather common thing in mixed Unix/Windows environments, where DOMAIN\user is often mapped 1:1 into Unix user names? I agree that \ can be restircted for tailing the user name, but I think that we should be ready to accomodate user names containing backslashes.
