| valid user = @123456789012345678901234567890123                 KO
| valid user = @12345678901234567890123456789012                   OK

This would be an HP-UX limitation.  There's nothing
in Samba that would truncate a group name or fail to
lookup a name at 32 characters.

Eric, hate to ping you on this but does it ring a bell?









cheers, jerry
