Hi! I'm new in the list, and I'd like to post this problem. Sorry if it's an old matter. My server is SuSE Enterprise Server 7 running Samba 2.2.4-2. Samba works fine, but I've this problem. In a share carpet, with a long path (/u/aplic/utilidades in server, L:\aplic\utilidades from the W98 point of view), I have several .bat. If I run this .bat from a W2000 machine, all works fine. But if I run this .bat from a W98 machine (first or second edition, no matter), I get an "Access denied - L:\aplic\utili~-3\x.bat" message, where x is the name of the .bat. The bat is successfully executed, but the error cause an application hang, so I have to solve this problem. If I put these same .bat in other carpet with a short name (utils, for instance), all works fine. It seems a problem with W98 running .bat from a share with long path. This error occurs only from Window explorer, in a DOS Windows works fine. Why this message? Any idea? Best regards, Vicente.
