I am not a developer, but I believe a problem that I am experiencing is the result of a bug in Samba rather than a configuration error. I am running Samba 2.0.5 (a precompiled package for Caldera Openlinux 2.2) under Linux kernel version 2.2.5. There is a Samba share on my network which can be accessed from Windows machines on the network without difficulty using Windows Explorer or the DOS prompt. The files are readable, writable, and display only the "archive" attribute. I use a DOS application which needs to access files on a Samba share, and which according to the programmer uses the DOS "findfirst" and "findnext" function calls to array a list of the files with the extension *.NED on the share. This application cannot "see" any of the files, and changing the filespec to *.* makes no difference. The application is written in Turbo Pascal, although this should be irrelevant, and it works perfectly reading from a Windows NT or 95 share. Here is what happens at debug level 100 when I try to access the files: [2000/01/11 14:26:05, 3] lib/doscalls.c:dos_ChDir(336) dos_ChDir to /mnt/mrdrives/programs [2000/01/11 14:26:05, 5] smbd/reply.c:reply_search(1175) reply_search: path=\NED\????????.NED status_len=0 [2000/01/11 14:26:05, 5] smbd/filename.c:unix_convert(351) unix_convert called on file "\NED\????????.NED" [2000/01/11 14:26:05, 3] lib/util.c:unix_clean_name(609) unix_clean_name [/NED/????????.NED] [2000/01/11 14:26:05, 5] smbd/mangle.c:is_8_3(338) Checking ????????.NED for 8.3 [2000/01/11 14:26:05, 10] smbd/filename.c:stat_cache_lookup(274) stat_cache_lookup: cache miss on NED/????????.NED [2000/01/11 14:26:05, 5] smbd/filename.c:unix_convert(460) unix_convert begin: name = NED/????????.NED, dirpath = , start NED/????????.NED [2000/01/11 14:26:05, 5] smbd/filename.c:unix_convert(588) New file ????????.NED [2000/01/11 14:26:05, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(2476) is_in_path: NED/????????.NED [2000/01/11 14:26:05, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(2481) is_in_path: no name list.
