Hi:
If I'm running Samba on a Sun/Solaris 2.7 OS, will I have a problem
with machine account name length in /etc/passwd and smbpasswd if
the machine account name is 9 characters, instead of the UNIX 8-
character limitation?
Unfortunately, the NT machine name is 8 characters long. That means
when I create a Samba machine account in /etc/passwd and smbpasswd,
with the usual dollar sign appended to the machine name, the machine
name is 9 characters long. UNIX/NIS may be truncating it. This
may account for the errors I'm seeing in my /usr/local/samba/var/log/
smb.log file:

Hmmmm....I see a lot of this, without any drastic error messages. I
can't log into the Samba domain from the NT client, but I
can log on as local and access the hermes shares from Network
Neighborhood.
Or is this hashed_getpwnam activity simply a result on activating
password level and username level?
I'm wondering if this is why I can't log into domain from NT client
that is a member of the Samba domain (2.1.0-prealpha).
THANKS for any info...
