[Spacewalk-list] Problems with Usernames > 8 Characters?

[Wojtak, Greg (Superfly)]

I just wanted to follow up on this.  The problems I was having were due to
a misconfiguration for authentication.  I had migrated the server from
LDAP authentication to AD authentication using winbind.  I forgot to
modify the nsswitch.conf to actually use AD authentication and it just so
happened that everyone except for the person with a nine character user id
didn't keep his LDAP and AD passwords in sync.
