Hi, I am a newbie in samba. Actually I am trying to setup a samba server to share the filesystems in a solaris 8 box to the windows nt users in a domain. I am trying to map the windows user ids to a comman unix id. I noticed that i get a problem in authenticating the users with a username more than 8 characters. Does samba not support usernames with more than 8 characters?
