I'm using winbind to authenticate telnet session under Red Hat Enterprise 2.1 samba/winbind version 2.2.10 Domains are NT4 domains I have everything set up and configured correctly. Local users and users from trusted domains are able to log-in. I'm having a problem with the resulting username when a user logs on from a trusted domain. Local domain is phonic Trusted domain is thisted winbind separator = . (period) use default domain =yes when a user logs in as 'phonic.user' or just as 'user', the linux username is 'user' when a user logs in as 'thisted.user', the linux username is 'THISTED.user' The problem is that the application we're using won't run if the username is that long. There is a limit of 8 characters. If the username is longer the program exits. Is there a way to strip the domain name from the username so that the username is just user. Usernames across all of our domains are globally unique so there shouldn't be a problem with duplicate names. Thanks Chuck Hutchins

Thanks Matt, but as my message said, I already have the winbind 'use default domain' set to Yes. My problem is related to logons from other trusted domains. Anybody else have any suggestions?
