[Samba] Problems with spaces prefixing usernames when using Samba as a PDC

[Duncan Brannen]

Hi All,
	Has anybody seen (Hopefully solved ;) this problem?

We're running samba 2.2.8a as a PDC for windows classrooms with an LDAP 
backend.

What's happening is that users are waking up the windows machines by 
pressing the
space bar and then logging in.  They authenticate successfully (leading 
spaces ignored)
but windows is miscreating the roaming profiles with leading spaces which 
causes the
folder structure to be created incorrectly.

This causes profiles to be created in the root of C: rather than in 
Documents and Settings.
folder.

The Ldap server thinks it's being asked for the username without the space 
but Samba shows
it asking for the username with a space.  AI've a feeling it's maybe the 
ldap server that's
the problem? (Open Ldap 2.1.17)

Cheers,
	Duncan
