Hello All,
I am having a problem with samba's ability to interpret certain files with
windows 2k clients.
Setup Details:
Linux ( RedHat 7.3 ) File Server
Win 2k Clients
Samba v2.2.3a
Kernel 2.4.18 statically compiled.
Problem Description:
When copying jpegs from a Win2k client which is displaying the JPEGS in
thumbnail mode, to the Linux / Samba file server, 3 files are copied as follows:
Size Name
61013 pic0010.jpg
7872 pic0010.jpg:zxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:$DATA
0 pic0010.jpg:{yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy}:$DATA
The first file is the orig jpeg, which is intact. The second file I will assume
to be the thumbnail, while the 3rd file is empty.
I have done a search on the net and the samba list archives and have seen mails
from other people with the same problem but have not found a solution.
I have tried flicking some of the more obscure options for configuring samba
with no success.
Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. > > Known bug we fixed for 2.2.5, sorry.Skimming through the samba.org website failed to pop up any list FAQ, but if there _is_ one out there, and anyone is updating it, I humbly submit the following entry: Q: Under Samba 2.2.x, where x<4, odd files appear with names like this: pic0010.jpg pic0010.jpg:zxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:$DATA pic0010.jpg:{yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy}:$DATA Or the mangled versions of these files, e.g: snmp.jpg SNMP~CC.JPG SNMP~HL.JPG Where the two extra files are of odd sizes. Most happens with JPEGs. What's up? A: Samba versions under 2.2.4 (This was fixed in 2.2.4, from what I've seen.) didn't handle Windows Alternate Data Streams very well. This has been resolved in later versions of Samba. Please upgrade your version.
