We have winbind running on our server, so all of our usernames look like

Yes, in Samba 2.2 there is a static buffer here, of 1024 chars.
Testparm gives this error:
ERROR: string overflow by 34 in safe_strcpy [ @MIXEDDOMAIN+Cert
Publishers
@MIXEDDOMAIN]
Whenever we get that error, there is difficulty connecting from the windows
clients.
If I remove about 50 characters worth of names, it goes away and everything
works right (for the names left). I know I can get around this limitation by
assigning a group on the 2000 server, but I still have two questions. Can I
have more that one valid users = line per share?
No.
And, is there a better way
to deal with spaces in usernames than User Name ?
Note: The same thing happens with write list =.
This should be fixed in Samba 3.0, due to a change to the way we process
such lists, but you are much advised to use a group on the server.
