[Samba] Help! How do I make Samba3 + Winbind drop the domain\ on a user's account?

    For me, I found this to be a problem on the source machine (where
the ssh session starts).

    I used a simplistic workaround on my Samba-PDC.  I defined 
'Domain\user' in
my /etc/passwd to have the same UID/GID as 'user'. 

    It might not be practical for many users, but it really was a case
of 'ssh[d]' not knowing that on a PDC, "domain\user" == "user".

    As for '\' being legal or not -- I just added '\' to the list of allowed
login characters in "/etc/login.defs"  The following is all on 1 line:

CHARACTER_CLASS         
[ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_][-ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789_.\\/\ 
]*[-ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789_.$]\?

    Once I'm logged in, the system recognizes me as "user".


    I vaguely remember that setting 'winbind use default domain' to 
'yes' caused
problems in that all logins had the "domain\" prefix.  Not what I wanted.
I even have a note in my smb.conf:
  #don't turn on: "winbind use default domain = No"

(it didn't work in my environment).
