provision: when deriving netbiosname from hostname force the netbiosname
to be compliant
It means no space/_/-/@.... and less than 16 chars.
What's wrong with '-'? It's allowed in netbios and dns names.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909264
Well the test that check if it's a valid netbiosname checks for the
absence of '-':
def valid_netbios_name(name):
"""Check whether a name is valid as a NetBIOS name. """
# See crh's book (1.4.1.1)
if len(name) > 15:
return False
for x in name:
if not x.isalnum() and not x in " !#$%&'()-...@^_{}~":
return False
return True
So I guess this function is wrong.
Because I made my function based on this test ...
