I should have looked at little further down in the code... if you search
the hobbitd/client_config.c file for "ownerid=" you'll see that is where
the patch went in. And just a few lines further down is a line with

   currule->flags |= FCHK_OWNERSTR;
   currule->rule.fcheck.ownerstr = strdup(tok+6);

Change that line to "p+1" instead of "tok+6":

   currule->rule.fcheck.ownerstr = strdup(p+1);

and usernames should work. An identical fix some 15 lines or so further
down fixes it for the groupnames.
