>Environment:

Systems running samba 3.6 and doing username mapping as
described below.

>Description:

A bug exists in samba which causes username mapping to fail if
the mapping code is called:

- two times consecutively with the same search key
- and a hit was found in the username map file
- and this hit doesn't abort the search early by using the !-syntax
- and the hitting entry is not the last one in the map file

(For details see https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9139)

>How-To-Repeat:

Set up samba 3.6 with a username map file and let it map
users as described above.

>Fix:

Although the bug has just been submitted to the samba team
we might add this as a local fix until it has found its way
into the official sources
