Hallo, John, Du meintest am 05.07.09:
>> how long may a valid samba username be? > Many older UNIX systems limit usernames to 8 characters. > Under OpenSUSE 11.2 (not yet released) it is possible to use the > "useradd" utility to add a username up to 29 characters in length. In a linux newsgroup I was just told that glibc uses 32 characters to distinguish but allows more characters. > It is possible to add that user to the tdbsam password backend using > "smbpasswd -a". That account is valid within Samba (at least using > smbclient). Just for clarification: "smbpasswd" and other samba programs have no individual length limit? > So the answer is: "What is the limit of the operating system that is > hosting your Samba?" Ok - I'll try ... thank you! Viele Gruesse! Helmut -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
