similar to: Usernames with mixed case problems

Hello, I've got a problem with user<->group mapping. Our windows PDC has mixed-case usernames. 'getent passwd' is ok, as it simply ignores case and shows all users in lowercase, but 'getent group' will give me 'group: User,User2', so when I 'id user' it will not be shown as member of 'group'. A simple example: # getent passwd

I haven't found anything about this in the FAQ's... Despite having a translation from an all uppercase (or all lowercase) to the mixed case Unix username in the username map, the samba server (1.9.18p1) does not allow browsing from a Win95 client. If I change the username to all lowercase on the Unix server, then browsing works fine. Have I missed something? -- Phil Etheridge

I have a problem that I first observed when I upgraded from 3.0.24 to 3.0.28 and is, I believe, related to the introduction of the "printjob username" configuration parameter. I print via CUPS and the Cups-PDF driver wants to know the Linux username (so it can put the PDF in the proper location). The problem is that "printjob username = %U" results in a lowercase username

Today I've found a very irritating bug: I use mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%u/ in my dovecot.conf. And if user type Username, username, USERname etc at login dovecot create a different Maildir's for one real user. But LDA works corretly and save all messages to lowercase username mailbox. No problem, add L: mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%Lu/ Then all works good. But I has

Hi, I'm successfully using winbind to authenticate a debian sarge workstation against an nt4 server. Works a treat. However, I have an odd situation where a user logs in for the first time as "John Smith" and gets created a "John Smith" directory in /home. *Then*, if they log in as "john smith", they get a second directory created as "john smith" in

Should I just make Dovecot lowercase usernames by default in v2.0? auth_username_format = %Lu Does anyone actually want to use non-lowercase usernames? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, I'm just curious how to force usernames to be modified to lowercase letters if one mixes uper and lower case letters to one salad? Cause my SpamAssassin gets confuesd and treats different spellings of Usernames as different Users - which is uncool. I've heard about something you can add in your dovecot.config to enforce lowercase letters only. Thanks

- Compiled Samba version 2.2.4 - Slackware Linux, Kernel 2.4.17 - Windows 2000 Professional, SP2 Here's what I know: You have username MyNetworkUsername (exactly with case) in /etc/samba/smbpasswd and /etc/passwd. You have Samba running as a PDC, with unix password sync enabled. Password Sync options at default for the most part (passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u). In W2K, you

Hello, I have noticed that smbclient returns an error code when a windows server has disabled NetBIOS, but should it do this, if you know NetBIOS has been disabled. I think there should be a flag to indicate that you don't want to check port 139 (NetBIOS). For example the following command which tries to connect to a Windows server with NetBIOS disabled returns an ERROR! $ smbclient -L

Hi, how do you guys force your users to authenticate with lower case letters ONLY? Or convert it? Is there a SASL Option to force that - or are you using scripts i.e. a bash script in combination with the command "tr" ... or a third solution I didn't think of yet? I'm using Postfix / Dovecot combination. Postfix is told to use Dovecots SASL Service to authenticate it's

I've had several instances now on my mixed NT 3.51/4.0/Samba network where clients on Win boxes would enter a username such as "THisbites", and be denyed access. The account in /etc/password was capitalized as "THisbites" and the NT domain account shows in User Manager as "THisbites". Nonetheless, Samba refuses them access, and claims (on a debug level3 ) that

--NoDisclaim-- I cant use an editor to mass update and change usernames as this is a part of an automatic useradd routine written in an ancient legacy application which calls useradd and usermod, we have been using this software for more than 15 years, so its hard for me to argue for a rewrite, so im forced to bend the OS instead it isnt a problem on redhat 8.0, so somewhere in the patches for

Is it possible for dovecot to strip realms and force lowercasing of usernames? We have a lot of dumb customers who try logging in to pop3 with crap like UsERNAmE and bla at nonexistentdomain.com. All our usernames are lowercase and we have no realms. Trying to get hundreds of customers to fix this is hard and is a significant and costly support burden. It would be nice if dovecot could handle

A feature I think would be nice. When a single IP hosts email for multiple domains the solution is usually to use the complete email address as the username. I have users that have migrated from Cobalt RAQ's which do not work like that. If a user trys to authenticate with just there username such as "joeb" instead of joeb at dirt.com I would like Dovecot to check all the

We're looking at using windbind and AD for our user account details but have run into a small snag. All user accounts in AD are upper case but our linux accounts are lower-case. Is there a simple solution we've overlooked? We really don't want to have to hack this...

Hi list, I just upgraded an AD DC from 4.1.17 to 4.2.10 (using jessie package), wbinfo -r someuser now fails randomly (well not THAT randomly I guess it depends on group membership) $ wbinfo -r oneuser failed to call wbcGetGroups: WBC_ERR_DOMAIN_NOT_FOUND Could not get groups for user oneuser $ wbinfo -r anotheruser [list of GIDs] wbinfo -u & wbinfo -g returns no error wbinfo -i oneuser

I still have not resolved this problem. Last time I reported it, I neglected to note the OS & version. Server is running Digital Unix 4.0B, samba 1.9.18p1 Problem is that a user's home directory only appears on a Win95 client under "Network Neighbourhood" when they have an all lowercase username on the server. Otherwise, user is prompted for a passwd and a bad password error
