samba - Feb 2006 - Authenticating to AD with usernames containing dots

Does *anyone* have info on how I can authenticate to Active Directory using
dotted usernames from a Linux machine?  I'm running Fedora Core 4 with
samba-3.0.14a-2, and when I mount a share using a "normal" (dot-free)
username everything works fine.  My situation sounds pretty much exactly like
the following, but there's no response:
 
 http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2002-November/055397.html
 
 I'll post logs and such if needed, but it's pretty much the standard
error of "7721: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access
denied.)"  I've tried the syntax "{DOMAIN}+{username}" and
commenting out the dot, both to no avail.
 
Seems I wouldn't be the only person having this issue, but I can't find
information *anywhere.*  HELP!

You mean using the principal name and not the sAMAccountName,
right?  Not currently (at least not last time I looked).  I
admit we need to address this.
