Hi All, After upgrade to Vista SP1 the logins to Samba + LDAP PDC stopped working. Looking further at the problem I have identified that the problem is with the usernames that we have, which are name@<domain>.com. For some reason beyond my understanding, it seems that the if the username contains a dot "." followed by one or more character, I get the following error in Vista:
The local Session Manager service failed the logon. The data area passed to a system call is too small If the username has no dots "." or the dot is the last character in the username (for example username. ) the authentication works fine. Initially I have thought that the problem is is entirely the fault of SP1, however, I have tried to replicate the same setup on MS Active directory server 2003 and authentication of the users with exactly the same name works flawlessly. I tried to enable debugging mode in Samba, however was not able to see any error or warning messages, nor do I have anything useful in the Vista event viewer. I am a little lost and have no idea how to fix this issue. Did anyone experience similar problems? Any tips or ideas would be great. My setup is: Linux Gentoo Samba 3.0.32 LDAP 2.3.43 Windows client: Windows Vista SP1 Business Edition with latest updates.
