Characters limitations in the "User Logon Name (more than 20 characters)"

[Rohit Rajan]

Hi,

We have created a user with the logon name longer than 20 characters, 
user created successfully, but when trying to logon to windows XP box, 
user is not able to logon using the "User Logon Name (more than 20 
characters)" but is able to logon using the "User Logon Name [Pre 
windows 2000]" which is only 20 characters.

Is this the normal behavior, i'm not sure but i believe with windows 
2003 and windows xp user should be able to logon using the full "User 
Logon Name (more than 20 characters)".

I'm using samba Version 4.0.0alpha12-GIT-ba74823 and windows XP service 
pack 3 with all the patches up2date of windows XP
Please suggest.

Thanks
Rohit Rajan
