[jhutz@sirius ~]$ pts listo jhutz
Groups owned by jhutz (id: 2322) are:
  jhutz:jhutz test
  jhutz:smms.commanders
  jhutz:sss
  jhutz:daemons
  jhutz:penne.visitors
  jhutz:hostafs.visitors
  jhutz:hostafs
  jhutz:afs-tools
  jhutz:crossfire.run
  jhutz:crossfire
  jhutz:secure
  jhutz:jhutz


Groups with spaces work just fine.
