good afternoon,
Does samba have a maximum character limit to what it will support for
username values?
I have a working samba installation on a rh6.1 box using the stock
samba 2.0.5a-12 rpm's off of the CD.
I'm serving up file folder shares off a linux box and making them
accessible to NT Domain users via Network Neighborhood.
Relevant (but not comprehensive) list of parameters:
global:
security=server
password server = myPDC
domain controller = myPDC
wins server = myWINSipaddress
share definitions:
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
This works. Users can access their file folders via network neighboorhood,
drive mapping, and smbclient without difficulty with ONE exception:
users with usernames longer than 12 characters can't access their
folders. They can list accessible directories:
server -->
theirhomedir
xfers
but when they click on theirhomedir, they get an error saying Network Path
Not Found.
Very curiously, they can still access their folders via smbclient.
Some troubleshooting steps:
1. if their usernames are shortened but their directory name stays >12
char, it works.
2. if the username stays >12 char and their directory name is shortened,
this doesn't work.
This limitation is true regardless of what the global protocol parameter
is set to. By default, it's set to:
protocol = NT1 (which should work anyway).
I've also tried LANMAN1 and LANMAN2.
Is this a limitation I'll just have to deal with or does anyone know
of a workaround or fix? (usermaps probably work but that'd be really
ugly).
