Hi Jeremy,
Please See the attached .tar with an example file structure that will cause the problem on FC2.
Samba version 3.05
FC2 2.4.22-1.2194.nptl #1 Thu Jun 17 10:56:28 EDT 2004 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
These folders were located in /home/local/samba-public
But again this will happen for every file over the 8.3 limit
Below are the errors it causes when i list the directory using winxp home client:
Aug 3 08:56:59 mandrake1 nss_wins[7438]: [2004/08/03 08:56:59, 0] lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(602)

If you need any more info just let me know.
Best Regards Carl.

Hi,
We have 98se2 and xp home sp1 and xp pro sp1 clients, i know for sure win98 and xp home when listing a directory cause this problem, we only have a few xp pro laptops so i cant be 100% sure about those.
as for the directory i can on monday when i go back to work, but it will happen with any file over the limit, i end up with error logs of about 500-600mb full of these errors.
The clients are windows 98 se and windows xp home, I know that errors are reported for them im pretty sure its any client but i cant say i have proven that.
I have a fedora box here so i might try to reproduce the errors on it tonight so i have sumthing to send you. Its a shame are old compilers and our old pcb cad system dont like the hash2.
Thanks, Carl.

Hi jeremy,
You not going to like this but I am still getting the errors "String overflow in safe_strcpy" with the same config file as before and with the latest release (3.0.5.2 - fedora2 rpms from http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.samba.org/Binary_Packages/Fedora/RPMS/i386/core/2/ )
I have included the errors in the attached .txt file.
all i had to do to reproduce the error was goto a directory containing the samba rpm files ( which are over the 8.3 ) and of course the same happens for any other file over the 8.3 but not for directories.
Ok, can you give me a tarball containing the directory and also the *exact* client you're using to reproduce this so I can check.
Thanks,
Jeremy.
