Hi, I have very strange problems with samba 2.0.[34], running under IRIX 6.5: When I connect from a Win 98 client, I see only folders without names. The number of unnamed folders equals the number of files in the folder. If I open one such folder, I see "%THISDIRNAME%" instead of its name and it contains many many unnamed folders again. Sometimes there are so many, that the windows explorer crashed with a stack overflow. This obviously makes samba useless. In the log file of smbd (debug level 5) there are many entries like this: [1999/05/20 09:31:00, 5] smbd/mangle.c:name_map_mangle(983) name_map_mangle( , need83 = FALSE, cache83 = TRUE, 0 ) [1999/05/20 09:31:00, 5] smbd/mangle.c:name_map_mangle(1017) name_map_mangle() ==> [] Does the name mangling empty the filename ? Is this a known problem ? Are there any solutions ? The same problem occurs with samba 2.0.3 and 2.0.4. I was glad to have an old samba 2.0.0 beta version, so I compiled and installed this one and it works without problems. For all versions I use the same smb.conf file, which I created with the great SWAT tool. btw.: Where can I find elder samba versions (like 2.0.2) ? An article in the german "Linux magazin" also stated, that samba 2.0.3 is broken (no details were given) and one should use the 2.0.2 version. When I saw that version 2.0.4 is available, I hoped, that all known bugs might have been removed, but this is obviously not the case. (?) In an attachment I added my smb.conf file.
