[Samba] Password question

[John Anderson]

Hi,

I got the samba working (to connect to the remote nt system thru the
vpn), thanks to going thru all of the docs.

I'm having 1 problem, and it's only with 1 user.  I am getting this
error:

USERNAMEX - the local username in question

remoteu - name that I am mapping everyone to on my side (matches the
username they are expecting on the other side).

remoteu is setup with a smbpasswd.

Here is the kicker, I have 6 other users that are able to connect.

The only thing I have found that is different about this 7th user is the
fact that his username is 9 characters long.

Also, I added USERNAMEX to the smbpasswd file with the *remote*
password, is that correct or incorrect?

Thanks in advance.
