Bug Description

This looks like a problem from an un-escaped backspace:
        Samba versions prior to 3.0.8 would only support reading the
                     fully qualified username (e.g.: DOMAINser) from the username map

same here:
             When relying upon a external domain controller for validating
             authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map to the
             fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAINser) only after the user has
             been successfully authenticated.

I found various formatting problems and errors related to these in UNCs,
as well.
