I noticed the following in system logs and on the server console.
The server is a PDC server in classic domain , DomainA. Samba
4.4.5. Trusts are setup with Domain A and C.

DomainB has a 4 character name. DomainC has 14 characters. Something
seems to be padding the names out to just over 15 characters.
I have seen other posts on this subject but there did not seem to be a
clear answer.
On the member servers, wbinfo -i and getent passwd can't allocate UID
numbers to trusted users. (The PDC and BDC are ok.)
Thanks
