samba - Nov 2003 - Problem w Samba on Alpha: No filenames > 80 chars displayed on Win Clients

Hello all,

I have a problem with the display of filenames > 80 chars when served by 
Samba-3.0.0 to Windows clients. 
System: GNU/Linux debian 3.0.1 upgraded to testing/unstable on ALPHA processor 
(XP-1000), 
Kernel: custom 2.4.22 + acl support (kernel pkg could only be compiled by  
downgrading binutils to 2.12.90 & using gcc-3.0)
Samba: Samba-3.0.0.final.deb (testing/unstable)
smb.conf:  excerpt see below

I could not found any hints in the Samba documentation that would explain this 
filename restriction. There seems to be no problem with long filenames with 
Samba on i386 machines, so I suspect there might be platform issue behind it.

Any pointers and hints would be appreciated


Thanks
Ulrich Harttig
