[Samba] domainname is too long error

[Gaiseric Vandal]

I noticed the following in system logs and on the server console.

The server is a PDC server in classic domain , DomainA.     Samba 
4.4.5.  Trusts are setup with Domain A and C.

DomainB has a 4 character name.  DomainC has 14 characters. Something 
seems to be padding the names out to just over 15 characters.

I have seen other posts on this subject but there did not seem to be a 
clear answer.


On the member servers, wbinfo -i and getent passwd can't allocate UID 
numbers to trusted users.     (The PDC and BDC are ok.)




Thanks
