AFAIK, FreeBSD usernames are currently limited to 16 characters, and may be comprised of only lower case letters and/or digits. _If_ Samba can handle a trailing $ in a username (which it ought to if Windoze can do it), then you would probably want to try the "username map" command in smb.conf. man smb.conf and look for "username map" it gives examples To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
