I really appreciate all your responses on this. I might not have fixed it by looking at samba logs but i noticed there was directory in user unix directory with wildcard * as folder name
once i removed it, samba showed up all the files and directory. am not sure what would * as folder name caused this behaviour may be samba was trying to interpret * as something else not sure...... or it was windows exlorer could not understand * and showed up some but not alll anyway thanks again -----Original Message----- From: David Collier-Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 9:56 AM To: Abdul Javid {AJAVID1} Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Missing files as seen by Explorer on a client (was Need help on this) Abdul Javid {AJAVID1} wrote: > > I am trying to find why some files and directories are not visible > from W2K windows explorers though they exist on unix home directory > permissions are fine ( 755 )on unix side > > following is the portion of log ( level 10 ) > > [2002/07/31 16:16:05, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1143) > is_in_path: public_html > [2002/07/31 16:16:05, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1148) > is_in_path: no name list. > [2002/07/31 16:16:05, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1143) > is_in_path: weekly_report > [2002/07/31 16:16:05, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1148) > is_in_path: no name list. > > *****public_html is not visilbe > > [2002/07/31 16:16:05, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1143) > is_in_path: bin > [2002/07/31 16:16:05, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1148) > is_in_path: no name list. > [2002/07/31 16:16:05, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1143) > is_in_path: .Xauthority > [2002/07/31 16:16:05, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1148) > is_in_path: no name list. > > ******bin and .Xauthority is visible > > my question is how do find errors with opening directories > to me both looks same > > any body can tell me what is_in_path does and what "no name list" > means > Whoops, I was wrong in the previous message: it looks like a samba-side problem! /******************************************************************* Utility function used to decide if the last component of a path matches a (possibly wildcarded) entry in a namelist. ********************************************************************/ BOOL is_in_path(char *name, name_compare_entry *namelist) The functiont looks for name in namelist, and almost every other list passed in is empty!
