running samba 2.2.7a (emerged in gentoo) on the client.. server is running samba version 2.0.X from my client, I run mount -t smbfs -o workgroup=mygroup,ip=10.1.1.50,username=$USER,uid=$ID,gid=$ID2 //smbserver/$USER /home/$USER/ and everything works great.. I do an ls in that /home/$USER dir and the filenames are fine.. EXCEPT for files that have a : in them. For example zim .vnc # ls RTP-C~10.LOG RTP-C~AB.LOG longfilenamethatisnottruncated.txt xstartup RTP-C~10.PID RTP-C~AB.PID passwd xstartup.bak zim .vnc # the files with RTP-bla.* have ":" in the filename and show up truncated. if I rename a truncated file to something without ":" in it. the long filename works fine. Any ideas how to make long filenames with ":" in then not get truncated? regards, Jason
