Description John H Terpstra (mail address dead( 2003-04-30 23:10:57 UTC 
smb.conf [globals]
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers


/etc/samba/smbusers - old format used to work for three users, no longer works,
now treats the name as "Administrator admin "Jack Frost""

root = Administrator admin "Jack Frost"

Work-around:
------------
root = Administrator
root = admin
root = Jack Frost

ie: Now requires 3 lines.

can't break backwards compatibility for no reason.  Raising to a P2
Comment 2 Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2003-05-21 07:56:45 UTC 
I tested the alpha24 code with a username map containing

   jerry = "Gerald Carter" gerald

Everything worked as expected.  

Other than a few formattying changes, the map_username() 
function in 2.2 and 3.0 is identical.

Marking this one as invalid.
