Samba doesn't allow connections from usernames that have & in them. For example, using 2.2.5 and winbind with
security = DOMAIN password server = win2kmixed workgroup = MIXEDDOMAIN all my users can login, (for example MIXEDDOMAIN+aho, MIXEDDOMAIN+tdickson), but my users named "&" and "bobalso&" (which should be MIXEDDOMAIN+& and MIXEDDOMAIN+bobalso&) don't work. The log.win2kclient file indicates that samba has changed & to _. (I.E, unable to connect for user _ or user bobalso_, which won't work because it can't validate those users with the domain controller (windows 2000), because they don't exist. Is there anyway to work around this? If this sounds too convoluted, let me know. I can add smb.conf files and log files, but I think the problem is samba changing & to _ before processing the login request.
