I initially thought you were referring to the computers short hostname,
but, no you are referring to the username.

If adding 'winbind use default domain = yes' to the smb.conf isn't
removing the NetBIOS domain name from the username, then it is probable
that one of two things is occurring:

A) You are trying to do this on a DC, this will not work, you are stuck
with 'DOMAIN\username'.
B) You are trying to do this on a Unix domain member and are using the
autorid idmap backend, again this will not work.

I suggest you give us a bit more information.

Hi Rowland,

looks like that line actually did the trick, I forgot to restart the
winbind service, but now I need to deal with quotas manually as all
prior info was removed.

Regards
