samba - Oct 2002 - Samba client Bug : First letter of directory name missing

Hi everybody !

I have a problem with the sambaclient when I connect to some client and type 
ls it lists the directories without the first letter and furthermore it 
doesn't list them as directory but as file of 0kB.
And when I mount the share the filenames are ok.
I don't know the type of server that are running those hosts since findsmb 
don't report anything about them.


Thanks

This was a bug in samba-2.2.6pre2, which has been fixed in CVS. And, 
AFAIK, it's only against win9x/winme servers (does not seem to affect 
win2k, winnt or samba servers).
