Hi All, I would like to find out if there's a limit on the # of characters in the linux username. I have a user named "vijayaheela_v" who is unable to map to the home directory because it's showing up as "vijayasheela_" only. when I execute smbstatus, the below is the result : Service uid gid pid machine ---------------------------------------------- vijayashee vijayasheela_v product 15171 machine_name (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) Fri May 23 17:55:30 2003 mapping it manually using \\servername\vijayasheela_v works. The log files doesn't tell me much (log level = 3) only that there's not such service as "vijayasheela_" cause it's supposed to be "vijayasheela_v" Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
