>Description:

	
        i need to replace an NT server, but have to move the usernames
	from it to FreeBSD because there's also running a mailserver on the NT :-(
	The worse thing is, that usernames on the NT are longer than 8 chars...

 	can please anyone tell me where to make the required changes ?
	Sorry for writing a pr... but i DO want to replace microsuxx

	thx -Robert
