 Change in Username Map
 ----------------------
 
+Previous Samba releases would only support reading the fully 
+qualified username (e.g. DOMAIN\user) when performing a kerberos
+login from a 200x/XP client.  However, when looking up a map entry
+for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be
+used for matches.  This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes
+even on the same server.
 
+Samba 3.0.8pre2 obeys the following rules when applying the username
+map functionality.
 
+  * When performing local authentication, the username map is 
+    applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate 
+    the connection.
+  * When relying upon a external domain controller for validating
+    authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map 
+    to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only
+    after the user has been successfully authenticated.
