Problem: When a filename (on the unix share) contains a "*", the name
gets mangled.
Solution#1 - Remove the *'s from the Filenames (for me, not possible).
Part Solution#2: (Below) I say "part" because with this change, now I
can
see the correct filenames of the unix share from within W95 when I
do a directory. BUT.... I still can't access these files. If I click on
them
It says It can't find the file "e:\..." even though it displays
the name
correctly.
Does anyone know what routine opens the file requested? Possibly in
that subroutine I will find where to allow it read a file with a "*"
in
it?!?
Thanx

Description of Part Solution:
By editing out the "*" from mangle.c as an illegal character (see
below)
samba will now pass the * along as part of a VALID filename
<beginning of file>
static BOOL illegal_name(char *name)
{
static unsigned char illegal[256];
static BOOL initialised=False;
unsigned char *s;
if (!initialised) {
char *ill = "*\\/?<>|\":{}"; <------ Remove the
'*' from the
beginning of *\\/?<>...
initialised = True;
bzero((char *)illegal,256);
for (s = (unsigned char *)ill; *s; s++)
illegal[*s] = True;
}
