Long User names again

[Ondrej Hanak]

I found same problem on our SAMBA NTDOM as described by David Bannon.
Users with too long (e.g. 13 chars) usernames (cause big change from NT 
server to SAMBA, all users we accomodated on Linux) 
did't have H: drive mapped as others. I can see that user's home of his/her 
name in share list, but after effort to connect to this share error 
message appeared: "Can't find share name..."
I solved this problem by mapping homes in user's login script (net use h: 
\\server\homes).  
Can anybody explain what's wrong?

Cus O.H.
