Account limit on Samba share, password length

[Thomas Bihn]

The Plus (+) icon was grayed out in Network Place (Samba) Share / Cloud Disk. I found the only way to enable it was to delete a user. There appears to be a user limit. Is there a way to expand this beyond six users?

Also, I tried to enter a password longer than 16 characters, but the software apparently felt that was too secure and said it can't be longer than 16. Is there a way to enable longer passwords?

The 16 character password limit is Samba's implementation of a legacy CIFS/SMB Microsoft limitation - has to do with legacy NT4 and earlier clients...

That issue was fixed back in February, make sure you are running 380.58 or newer.
