[Samba] Samba full name resolution from passwd

On my Linux system (Debian 3.0/Samba 2.2.3-1), user full names are stored
in the /etc/passwd along with room #, phone, etc, all deliminated with
commas (within the :full name: delimitation). I'm wondering if someone has
a patch to grab the full name from the first field in the full name field.
I guess that's kinda confusing, so for an example, say we have:
paul:x:1000:50:Paul Miller,,,:/home/staff/paul:/bin/bash
I want Samba to grab "Paul Miller" as the full name, rather than "Paul
Miller,,,"
Or maybe there is a way to just disable this feature in Debian? Anyone
know? I don't really care for the extra fields when I create new accounts.
Thanks!
Paul Miller
