workgroup character name

[Kerry Koppert]

Why is changing the workgroup name to 15 characters not an option? In fact it is a requirement.

  Hello all,

  I have run into a problem with the 15 character restriction that NETBIOS places on a name.  My workgroup name is 16 characters, but my windows clients will only acknowledge a workgroup name of 15 characters.  Changing the workgroup name from 16 to 15 characters is not an option.

  Does anyone know of any config parameter that I can use as an alias to identify my workgroup name?

  Thanks
