A colleague is working with a Samba installation where Windows clients are accessing the server over a VPN. They are seeing an issue where a share is visible, but if a directory contains more than 8 files, they get an error.
The VPN is set to allow everything in both directions. Windows->Window sharing does work OK across the link, as do other large file transfers (NFS, FTP). The Samba connections work OK locally, and if the firewalls are replaced with a router (the two 'sites' were original local for testing), then the problem goes away. However, the firewall policy doesn't limit anything (and wouldn't it break Windows too?) Does this ring any bells with anyone? The firewalls are Juniper Netscreens at both ends, for what it's worth. I've had a google around, and I can't see anything related to packet size or MTUs, which is what it smells like to me... (presumably the 9th filename ends up in a second packet, or a certain sized response).
