Greetings ... Just got bitten in the ass by not been able to join the domain with 2.2.7a Correct me if I am wrong, Jerry did give me a quick explaination. It has to do with usernames and what allowable characters in it for security. Now, I need to fix this, does anybody have a patch/fix or tell me where to look in the source to try and fix this. Thanks. Mailed Lee
Just got bitten in the ass by not been able to join the domain with
2.2.7a
Correct me if I am wrong, Jerry did give me a quick explaination. It
has to do with usernames and what allowable characters in it for security.
Now, I need to fix this, does anybody have a patch/fix or tell me where
to look in the source to try and fix this.
Finally was able to find the freaking message ... but I think that
this might be something else ...
Message from Jerry ...

If I understand what you where saying is, this is to do with shell?
... But the query here is not shell based.
I also tested today with the stuff in LDAP already ... and still
seemed to running into problems ( kick oneself for not recording all the
stuff I tried, which I will try in my LAB again )
I have diff the samba-2.2.6 to samba-2.2.7a source to try and see
what has changed, but I was not able to find anything ... ( the reason I
used 2.2.6, is because Buchan Milne "bgmilne@cae.co.za" said that this
worked in that version )
Also, I have seen a few days old messages, which also seem to be
discussing this problem ... but I was not able to follow that to and
good end ...
I really need domain joining, or at least a work around for it ...
Please help me!!!
Thanks
