[Samba] Messages in Logwatch / Long usernames

Every day I get emailed Logwatch reports with several entries of the
following type.  I've tried googling for these entries and found nothing
that indicats if these represent any particular problem.  We did not have
these messages before and nothing really changed other than some RedHat
updates.  The system generally runs fine (~170 users) with only the
occasional authentication glitch.

We're on 2.2.6 running on Redhat 7.3.  Security =Domain

Unrelated to the above and more of an interface issue:

When running certain commands the long nature of domain+username ids makes
reading the output somewhat useless.  Take smbstatus -b:

Samba version 2.2.6
PID     Username  Machine                       Time logged in
-------------------------------------------------------------------
5650    AHBLNT1\ausnx350-06                     Mon Jan 20 08:49:57 2003
5023    AHBLNT1\sddel050-05                     Mon Jan 20 09:40:40 2003
5384    AHBLNT1\brdel050-02                     Mon Jan 20 08:36:48 2003

Although I can see which PID is which machine, the username is cut off.  I
did have Winbind Use Default Domain turned on before which worked around the
problem but remonstrations on the list from Daniel et al against its use on
2.2 persuaded me to turn it off.

LS -al also becomes harder:

Which group was that again?

-rwxrw----    1 root     AHBLNT1\     7000 Jan 20 15:00 Z_AP.D
-rw-rwx---    1 root     AHBLNT1\    11341 Dec 30 09:35 ZDLAST.PRT
-rwxrw----    1 root     AHBLNT1\   274200 Jan 20 13:21 Z_JF.D
-rwxrw----    1 root     AHBLNT1\    14400 Jan 20 15:56 Z_L2.D
-rwxrw----    1 root     AHBLNT1\    14600 Jan 20 14:24 Z_LV.D


Suggestions and comments anyone?

Thanks,

Greg
