samba - Oct 2005 - Odd problem with samba v.3.0.20b

Hello list,

I have recently updated our companys fileserver from version
3.0.13 to 3.0.20 and shortly afterwards to 3.0.20b. Since then
I have a prolem with my shares, at least the logs state that
there is a problem :(

The server acts as a domain member server. The domain is controlled
by a Win2000 server, the clients run WinXP and Win2000.

here a short passage of one logfile:

The last five messages are the relavant ones. The share mentioned
(aoster) is the home share of user aoster. This not only happens with
the home share but with all other configured shares. The last letter
seems to truncated.

Does anybody have a similar/same problem ?

best regards

Andreas

This is a *long* standing bug in samba 3.0.x (in all versions I tried up 
to 3.0.21pre1). Sometimes the last character  of the services is 
truncate here too, but the server is nevertheless working properly:

[2005/10/24 03:09:32, 0] smbd/server.c:main(805)
   smbd version 3.0.21pre1-01-for-eisfair started.
[...]
[2005/10/24 03:19:40.521307, 0, pid=11532] 
smbd/service.c:make_connection(802)
   tb3 (192.168.0.15) couldn't find service publi

The service is named 'public' and not 'publi'.

This is a Windows 2000 client bug.  The client then
tryies again with the corrcet name.
