[Samba] Samba + Vista SP1 usernames with @ not working

Hi

I was wondering if anyone came across an issue with Vista with SP1 and
usernames that have @ in their usernames (example username@domain.com).
The login to samba network stopped working once i have installed SP1.
The message I get is:

The local Session Manager service failed to logon
The data area passed to a system call is too small

>From the server side i don't really seen any errors and the same
username on pre SP1 workstation works without problems. Googleing for
the problem does not show anything useful

Thanks for any suggestions

Hi Andrei,

i am not sure i can help you, but i know domain user and domain group
are represented as form like:

DOMAIN/user or DOMAIN/group

on samba site.

What is your "log level" in smb.conf ?

I recommend you to have a look at the logfile(s).

In my case:

tail -f logfile is the first utility if something goes wrong.

Try to locate the error message.

We use samba 3.0.31 in security=ads mode and vista(with and without SP1)
in one domain and it works.

Andy

I also have the same problem, atleast very similar.
I did not do a deep investigation, but situation is:
I use samba server as PDC. Usernames are "givenname.surname". There are
winXP and winVista in the network. One user did an windows update to his
Vista 64bit edition and rebooted. Now he cannot login. The error is the
same:
> The local Session Manager service failed to logon

I can do logins with domain\root user no problem, but not with username with
dot.
I uninstalled SP1 and now I can login.

Hi

Thanks for your post. After a bit of playing I found out that the
problem is not with "@" symbol, but with "." in the username. If i
remove the "." from the username all starts to work fine.

The server side does not produce any errors, even in debug mode I do not
see anything suspicious or different from successfull authentication. I
think authentication succeeds from the server side, but Vista SP1
manages to brake things. I will do more research on this and post in
the mailing list.

Meanwhile, I will create a new post with this problem

Andrei

>From what I can see, it is not that Vista SP1 doesn't like the "."
character, it doesn't like having anything else after the ".". Username
like andrei. works, but andrei.domain doesn't.
