Hi, using samba 2.2.5-UL (on a SuSE-SLOX-System) we have to mangle long pathnames to short ones. We need this for some of our apps which generate batch-files (*.bat) for compilation. Normally this works correctly, exept for a directory named "Only_for_generation". This directory is mangled into "Only_~%0" (it' s NULL at the end). And this is the problem. In batch-files (*.bat) you shouldn't use this, because it meens to call the batch itself (like $0 in bash-scripts).
There must be a possibility to exclude "%" from the resulting hash values. Perhaps other special characters, like "$§&..." could leed to faults too. I've changed the hash mathod to "hash2": mangling method = hash2 but doesn't help. For our special case if inserted a mangled map: mangled map = (Only_for_generation Only_~01) but this is very special. Perhaps someone else would get a similar hash value for one of his paths. Thanks in advance for any hints how to avoid this or how to manage it. Bye Holger -- ======================================================== Dipl.-Math.
