I have searched for this and the solutions I found were for instances where the workgroup name *was* too long. However, my workgroup name is *not* too long. The spaces between PEGASUS and ^[ are part of the message, I did not add them. If you count them there are 16 total including ending ^[. I can't figure out where the spaces are coming from. This is the same for every Samba server. Each machine will show this message for the other servers but not itself. MachineA will show message for B and C, but not A. MachineB will show message for A and C but not B. Servers are Fedora release 20 and 21, Samba versions are 4.1.12 and 15. 46856 Feb 25 13:22:19 zaphod nmbd[32208]: [2015/02/25 13:22:19.194541, 0] ../source3/nmbd/nmbd_workgroupdb.c:57(name_to_unstring) 46857 Feb 25 13:22:19 zaphod nmbd[32208]: name_to_nstring: workgroup name PEGASUS ^[ is too long.

According to Microsoft: "The NetBIOS naming convention allows for 16 characters in a NetBIOS name. Microsoft, however, limits NetBIOS names to 15 characters and uses the 16th character as a NetBIOS suffix. " and "All NetBIOS names are 16 characters in length. A NetBIOS suffix is the 16th character of the 16-character NetBIOS name. The NetBIOS suffix is used by Microsoft Networking software to identify functionality installed on the registered device. " http://support.microsoft.com/kb/163409 Names are padded with spaces to 15 bytes, plus the NetBIOS suffix in the 16th byte.
