Hello Samba Developers,
After looking through the source files for 2.0.7, 2.0.9, 2.2.0, and 2.2.3a, it appears that a problems was introduced for us at the most recent revision. Since our mainframe IDs spawn our Novell IDs which in turn spawn our NT IDs, the grandfathered naming convention exists: A#LAST the A represents location, the "#" a is a separator, and the "LAST" is the first five characters of your last name (generally). The samba NT ID validation takes my NT ID, G#GAUGH and changes it to G_GAUGH. This will not validate against the NT domain because the G_GAUGH NT ID is not valid. We made the following change in .source/smbd/reply.c: diff reply.c.orig reply.c 852c852 < alpha_strcpy(user, user, ". _-$", sizeof(user)); --- > alpha_strcpy(user, user, ". _-$#", sizeof(user)); Thanks for the product!
