 Can you test on 2.2.6 please ? I fixed a long standing bug with
 name mangling for folders for 2.2.6.

A problem remains: If the folder with the name  12 characters is not at
the base of the share, but inside another folder with a name  12
characters, it still does not work.

[Samba] bizarre issue with opening Quicktime files from a share

2002-10-31 Thread Frank Joerdens 
Hello,

this would be one of the freakiest problems I've ever seen: If I open an
e.g. JPEG or Quicktime Movie with the Quicktime player application from
a share, it won't work if the file is inside a folder that has a name
which is longer than 12 characters. If I open the same file with e.g.
the Internet Explorer, no problem. If I put the folder on a local disk
or another Windows computer on the network (!), no problem either. 

I was able to reproduce the problem with both Samba 2.0.6 and 2.2.4.

Any ideas? Could someone check if they have the same problem (it might
be somthing I've configured identically on both Linux boxes).

Cheers, Frank

Cool. 2.2.6 indeed does not have the problem. This is why I am addicted
to Open Source software: You report your problem to the list, one of the
developers writes back with the solution within, like, 20 minutes - and
your problem is gone!

Many thanks, Frank
