question

[Jan-Pieter van den Heuvel]

Hi,

I believe Linux can handle only 8 character passwords, unless you use MD5. I
think this is compiled in the kernel, but I do not know this for sure. I
checked the option during the installation of Linux (Red Hat 7.1) :-)

What OS are you using?  If I recall correclty, some UN*CES only
allow 8 characters.  If you are using one of those, you may have to
change server OS to fix it.
I'm not aware of any such limitations in Samba.
