samba - Dec 2003 - 3.0.1/Solaris 9 - smbldap & dots in usernames

Hi All,

Is it possible to vampire across dots in usernames? I got over 1000 
accounts with dots in them eg. <firstname>.<lastname>

The smbldap-tools (version 0.8.2) don't seem to like adding users and 
groups with dots in them.

Any help much appreciated.

Yes, you are right. If you really need this, you can use this patch to
correct the problem. But i think that windows does not like that !
