hi,
i am running fbsd 5.1. when i try to mount a samba share on a debian
system i get :
smbfs: server name "x.y" too long
the server name is 16 chars long and i found out (looking at the
sources) that there is a limit of 15.

my question: why is there such a limit? (i used this share from several
linux distros without any problem). does this mean i have to change the
hostname of the debian system (which could not be really a solution...)
or is there any other workaround ?

thx for ur help
seb
