[Samba] AIX as PDC: troubles with length of usernames.
Hi, I want to migrate our NT domain to SAMBA over a RS/6000 F50 machine with AIX 4.3.3. ?Are there successful attempts out there on AIX ? Currently I have some problems because the machine accounts (AIX has a hard limit of eight characters in the usernames and the final '$' character break this rule). Thanks in advance for any help.
