[Samba] Can I have share name "shareone" and "share one" at the same time?
Hello Samba community! I recently found out interesting behavior of share name with Samba and did not find any useful information on the net. If anyone knows why I'm having this problem, I would feel like I could fly! Thanks in Advance. The problem I have is that I can not get following two shares working at the same time. in my smb.conf file, [shareone] comment = shareone path=/shareone printable = no public = yes writeable = Yes [share one] comment = share one path=/share one printable = no public = yes writeable = Yes I can get either one of them to work but not at the same time. I tried quote(") around share one. I tried "share\ one". I tried share\040one. But none of them worked. I tried these names for share in Windows XP and they worked fine at the same time. I'm sure this kind of share names on same computer would be very rare but I'm just curious. Thanks!

So I tried it out. Works fine for me. I'm using opensuse 10.3 and using the samba.org repository for samba 3.0.28. What version of samba are you using? If it's behind current, are you able to upgrade to a more current release? Regards, Doug
