My Samba server is a new install of Ubuntu 10.4 x86 with Samba 3.4.7. Samba is configured as standalone, and shares only a single directory /data for backup purposes.

I stumbled across this issue while trying to get my original problem fixed (which I did, thanks to this helpful list.) Run the following in a temporary directory:

echo abc > ActivePerl-5.10.1.1007-MSWin32-x86-291969.msi
echo abc > ActivePython-2.6.5.12-win32-x86.msi
echo abc > ActiveTcl8.6.0.0b2.291226-win32-ix86-threaded.exe
echo abc > authenclientcp.bat
echo abc > authencp.bat
echo abc > authenejbcp.bat

I put this into a batch file. By trial and error, I discovered that the results are the same if you (1) just run from a shell script on the Samba server, or (2) run it on Windows and copy the results to the Samba server.

With those files in place, from a Windows box, I get the following results from issuing directory listings with a wildcard:

N:\temp>dir ac*
 Volume in drive N is data
 Volume Serial Number is 0160-027E

 Directory of N:\temp

Notice that authenejbcp.bat is included in both listings. If someone else can confirm they are seeing the same thing, I'll file a bug report. Thanks.
