Re: [CentOS] Using long usernames with dots in LDAP

Hi Craig and William, my tests are successful until now.

All this tests are successful:

• getent passwd, getent group, id, groups, finger, su
• smbldap-useradd, smbldap-groupadd
• chown username file
• chgrp group file
• sendmail/dovecot/ceti-poppassd
• emails to/from yahoo/hotmail/gmail

Notes: if I pass the username and group to chown, it fails. I have to use like this: # touch /tmp/test1 # chown root.root /tmp/test1 # chown -v this.is.avery.long.username /tmp/test1 # chgrp -v this.is.avery.long.username /tmp/test1

Thanks for the comments, Oliver

I just did the cown here with both "," and ":". Still works with both. I wish I could remember who/what that problem was. Well, maybe it's been fixed up by chances since then.
