[Samba] Re: String overflow in safe_strcpy - bug in documentation
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. Many Thanks, Carl.

[Samba] Re: String overflow in safe_strcpy - bug in documentation
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.
