Hello. I have a problem with samba-2.2.5 and Win2000. I try to copy a file onto my home share and the explorer takes a long time to copy the file. After a while (ca. 30 seconds) there comes an error-box: path is to long (Der Pfad ist zu lang.) The error just gives me an OK-button. The files is correctly transmitted. I checked it, but if takes a very long time and there comes the error-message. What can it be? And here the smb.conf [global] workgroup = ANDRE encrypt passwords = Yes map to guest = Bad User map archive = no guest account = nobody null passwords = Yes keepalive = 10 logon script = login.bat domain logons = Yes os level = 256 socket options = TCP_NODELAY preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes local master = Yes security = user wins support = Yes kernel oplocks = yes oplock break wait time = 30 time server = Yes log level = 4 printing = cups printcap name = /etc/printcap add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /dev/false -M %u character set = ISO8859-1 client code page = 850 [homes] comment = Heimatverzeichnis writeable = Yes browseable = No Thanks for your help, Andre -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net

NTFS on a Win2k box I am using managed to link two directories together in a circular fashion so that the resulting name looks like \dir1\dir2\dir3\dir2\dir3\dir2\dir3\dir2\dir3\dir2\dir3\ .... As soon as you try to access that directory via the command line or Explorer, the message that you received (Path too long) is generated for obvious reasons. I have not found a way to get rid of that directory, Win2k lacking the necessary tools ... -- Joerg Lenneis email: lenneis@wu-wien.ac.at
