OK I am new to Samba.
I need a solution for a problem of long PC names and short AIX names.
How do I work around this issue?
This might not work on AIX, but it does for me on a Digital Unix 4.0D 'PDC' I run.
In DU's case it's only the 'useradd' command that is limited to 8 characters in a username. You can plug a longer name into /etc/password and every thing else works fine...
So to add a machine to the domain, I ssh into the Unix machine, run vipw, MANUALLY add the machine's name to the password file, save/exit, manually run smbpasswd -am and then go back to windows and 'join the domain'.
