samba - Aug 2003 - restriction on workgroup name length ?

Hi,

I have a Windows 2000 Domain Controller serving the domain
EMEA.CORPDIR.NET

smb.conf:

    workgroup = emea.corpdir.net
    security = domain

nmbd show the following errors: 

  register_name_response: Answer name EMEA.CORPDIR.NE<00> differs from
question name EMEA.CORPDIR.NET<00>.
[2003/08/22 16:29:42, 0] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:(73)
  register_name_response: Answer name EMEA.CORPDIR.NE<1e> differs from
question name EMEA.CORPDIR.NET<1e>.
[2003/08/22 16:29:46, 2] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:(182)


and it's not possible to join the domain.



Is there any limit on the length of the workgroup name and if yes
why doesn't samba take care about that ??


Cheers, Thomas

This looks like an off by one bug in nmbd when dealing
with names. I'm working on this code at the moment, I'll
try and ensure this gets fixed for RC2.
