Subject: elog allows me to create user "blahblah " 
Hi,

I noticed that when I register a username that contains whitespaces (eg "boing "), elog allows me to create the user of that name and updates the password file accordingly. It doesn't log me in, but it gives me no error message either. I also found that if I repeat the process it adds yet another entry in the password file, by the same name "boing ". Is that a bug or is there something wrong with my configuration?

Cheers,
Dimitris
