Statement of Impact: Karmic shipped with a bug in samba that if the share name is more than 12 characters long then smbclient wont display it.
How this bug has been addressed: This bug has been fixed by the upstream samba developers in https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6829. This patch has been accepted in Samba 3.4.3 I have backported the patch to Samba 3.4.0. I have attached the patch to this bug. How to reproduce: 1. Install samba 2. Create two shares like the following in the /etc/samba/smb.conf: [test1] comment = test1 read only = yes path = /tmp guest ok = yes [thisisareallyreallyreallylongshare] comment = thisisareallylongshare read only = yes path = /tmp guest ok = ye 3. Restart samba 4. Run the following command: smbclient -L localhost 5. The first share "test1" should be displayed in the output however the second one will not be. There should not be a regression from this patch. If you have any questions please let me know.
