Thanks for the reply. I was indeed assuming that I was doing something
wrong with the config, however what I was trying to point out was the
inconsistency between the two programs in handling that item. I.e. if it
is a single character, then both programs should be grabbing the same
thing, the same character. They are doing something different in reading
that attribute from the configuration file.

That's a broken config. The winbind separator is
a single character. There's a lot of code that does
snprintf( ...., "%s%c%s", domain, *lp_winbind_separator(), user);
That's what you are hitting. Fix smb.conf.
