some shares in browselist not showing up in spite of browseable = yes
Hello, In my smb.conf (or actually, in "committees.conf" included from smb.conf, a defined share does not show up in the browselist, nor any other share defined AFTER that particular one (either in that file or in smb.conf after the include statement). The shares are accessable though (when mapped to a drive letter or used as UNC). Ofcourse I tried to look for odd char's/misspelled statements at and around that share definition but cannot find any. Forcing the share to be browseable with "browseable = yes" does not make any difference. smbclient -L server does show all defined shares. net view \\server on a win9X box does not show all defined shares - only up until the 90th share or so. Any ideas what I might look for that could cause this behaviour ? Surely there's no limit to the number of shares in a browselist (or at least not a silly limit of 90 =) ?) version used is 1.9.18-HEAD. (Not wanting to spam the list, I did not include the used conf file(s) yet in this message). I'd be happy to send it on request though. Michel. -- Michel van der Laan - michel@nijenrode.nl http://www.nijenrode.nl/~michel

Back in the days of Windows for Workgroups 3.1, I installed a bunch of these on DOS client. They worked as well as can be expected given how primitive DOS was. I used the usual array of net commands to accomplish things.
