Can you post an smbd debug level 10 log of the Vista SP1 login please ?

Bruno, thanks for the reply. Having read through the section i have found the information on the group name limitations, which are mostly related to Unix like system. >From there, windows 200x systems support group names of 254 characters. It doesn't actually say anything about username limitations. I have no problem using long usernames in Samba + Linux client - all works fine and I am able to login. However, the problem is with Samba + Windows Vista SP1 and usernames longer then 20 characters. On the other hand, Samba + Windows Vista (without SP1 installed) works fine. However, this problem does not happen with Microsoft 2003 AD + Vista SP1. Therefore, the combination of Samba + Vista SP1 seems to result in problems with logons using long usernames. I am using Samba 3.2.3 and the same problem happens on Samba 3.0.28 and 3.0.31. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

[Samba] Samba PDC - Usernames with over 20 characters are not working with Vista SP1
Hi all, I am having difficulties logging into Samba domain with Vista SP1 with usernames that have over 20 characters in their names. Vista SP1 gives me the following error: The local Session Manager service failed the logon. The data area passed to a system call is too small. Anyone know what might be the cause of the problem and how to solve it?
