Re: [Samba] smbpasswd and 8 character limit
The problem is with passwords that exceed 8 characters, not usernames. Solaris (at least Solaris 9 ) will let you create usernames with more than 8 characters- (although it complains about.) Most of the usernames are 8 characters or less, including the test account.And I would think that the unix password store is usually irrelevant to samba anyway (with the exception of password syncing.) Older versions of Solaris did have an issue with unix passwd length (basically any characters beyond 8 were ignored.)Switching from DES to MD5 password encryption seems to have fixed this. I will try compiling 3.026a on a linux box (or 3.024 on solaris) and see if it really is Solaris specific.

Re: [Samba] smbpasswd and 8 character limit
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I can confirm that Solaris only allows 8 character usernames (just looked this up last week). As such, your usage of /etc/passwd (or whatever other PAM backend) is likely the problem.

RE: [Samba] smbpasswd and 8 character limit
Sorry, brain-fart, you'll probably be interested in knowing what version does work. The latest version of Samba that I've tested as working with the password issue is 3.0.24. I'm having trouble getting ACL support to work with it, but I have got ADS and winbind working seamlessly. ~Eric -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gaiseric Vandal Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 5:04 PM To: Samba Subject: [Samba] smbpasswd and 8 character limit The smbpasswd on my PDC (Solaris 9, Samba 3.026a) will truncate or corrupt passwords over 8 chars.
