Re: AW: Invalid syntax (21)



I referenced both the section 4.3 and 6.27 of the rfc2252 and tried the following:
 
(,l\5Fluke,mydomain.com)
(,l\_luke,mydomain.com)
(,l'\_'luke,mydomain.com
(,l"_"luke,mydomain.com)  
(,(l'_'luke,mydomain.com)
(,l"\5F"luke,mydomain.com)
(,l"\_"luke,mydomain.com)
(,"l_luke",mydomain.com)
(,'l_luke',mydomain.com)
 
However, none of the above worked. What is the correct way of doing the escape? Your help will be much appreciated!

RFC-2307 defines the attribute elements of syntax 'keystring,
keystring, as defined in rfc2252, does not allow underscores, if you
do require underscores you may escape this character.
