We've found that NT4.0 clients can't connect to samba services with names longer than 13 (?) characters (the service names are truncated in the listings on the client and it is not possible to connect to the service using either the truncated or the full name (even with a command-line "net use"). We can create an equally long service name on an NT system and that is listed ok and works as expected. smbclient lists truncated names (this may just be a display column width issue) and allows a connection to the long name Samba service. Is there anyway to make this work correctly? - the underlying UNIX data storage uses "meaningful" names and we would like to preserve that when the same storage areas are presented to the NT clients. BTW, we are currently running 1.9.17p5. Thanks, Barrie -- Barrie Spence Sanity Clause?
