Smb passwords > 8 chars

[Olaf Flebbe]

Hi,

samba 2.2.7

A samba server with encrypted paawords on Solaris8 does not correctly handle passwords containing more than eight characters. A local smbclient can correctly handle this situation, but NT 4.0 and W2K cannot connect to a share protected with encrypted password 9 chars long. The newly ported LynxOS Server shows the same problem ;-)

Samba servers on Linux/ix86, Freebsd/x86, IRIX 6.5, HPUX 11, AIX 4.3 does not show this problem.

The smbpasswd file of account with an password "aphrodite" looks like this on Solaris and LynxOS:

xx:55555:CB9B5D52CBF7BC80417EAF50CFAC29C3:E91112581298671EAD07824AE921468A:[UX ]:LCT-3DE5D705:

on the other OS'es it looks like:

xx:55555:CB9B5D52CBF7BC80CEC18980D4FFADA7:0121676CCD7DF90E0D4269315DC0A151:[UX ]:LCT-3DE5D6FC:

Or have I missed a crucial patch on Solaris8? It is on a quite recent maintenance release.
