??? Really?
But how is that compatible with Win's USERNAME? ...
I even use Domain\User on my linux domain server! So that would
conflict, by default. When I login to linux from win, it logs in
as Domain\User. Not entirely right for a PDC but at least somewhat
consistent. Domain+User would be entirely broken.
Yes -- I have added '\' to my allowed userID set on linux
in /etc/login.defs.
