I don't know if the 12 char thing is documented, I just found it with my own
troubleshooting.

The user map is in the docs for smb.conf

Just search for "user map" without quotes in the man page. (hint, press "/"
first...)

basically the usermap is a file that translates windows users to unix users. 
You'll need this for users with spaces in their names too.

unixuser=winuser

the man page will tell you more.
