samba - Oct 2003 - a share with a dot

Hi,

I created a share with a dot.

["corman.pub"]
     comment = corman.pub
     path = /rsrv/data1/corman.pub
     read only = No
     inherit permissions = Yes
     inherit acls = Yes


testparm says "no problem", but when i try to acces to this share, I
have a
window wessage : "could not find network name " and in the log :

[2003/10/31 12:08:50, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(850)
  infspu (10.217.5.46) couldn't find service corman.pub

It's a bug or a share cannot have a dot.

thanks

My share looks like this:

[html.test]
	comment = html
	writeable = yes
	locking = no
	path = /export/html
	public = no
	browseable = no

I restarted samba and tested it. I put in the explorer:

\\webmail\html.test

And it worked. In the logs:

[2003/10/31 12:17:33, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(681) pc-hs-107
(192.168.1.107) connect to service html.test initially as user sebestye
(uid=1000, gid=1000) (pid 31604)


I have samba version 2.999+3.0.alpha on debian sid.

Well, I guess it's not a bug, but I don't know what samba version you
are running on your machine.

It's probably the quotes that are messing you up.
