An application we have here tries to get a listing of a machine's shares using the RPC command SRV_NETSHAREENUM. In init_srv_share_info_ctr() with debug level 5, this will produce the message "init_srv_share_info_ctr: unsupported switch value 0". Doesn't the application set this value? It seems to correspond to something called info_level... I mucked around in the code, but didn't find much about this flag)? NT responds to the same query just fine. Which is "broken" here, the app, or samba? Thanks in advance.

Strange App sends SRV_NETSHAREENUM with info_level == 0

Thanks in advance.The SMB protocol has a nearly infinite combinations of flags, bits, and commands with each combination resulting in different behavior. Samba only implements those combinations which are (a) documented, or (b) see by developers. Which brings us to the question, what is the application and client platform? I'm sure Jeremy will want a a debug trace for a successful op and failed op in order to figure out what is going on.
