OK I am new to Samba.
I need a solution for a problem of long PC names and short AIX names.
I cannot get a windows 98 PC connected to an AIX Samba server, I think
because the PC name is too long. AIX allows only a maximum of 8
characters in a user name. My PC name is "ghostraider" and I cannot
create a user named ghostraider in the AIX system. So when I try to
connect, I get a Samba error telling me user ghostraider not found.
How do I work around this issue?
Thanks !!!
