Hi all, I'm wondering if there is some restriction on the length of share names that prevents shares with names over 12 characters being browsed to ? I have a share with a name that is 14 characters, and I'm able to connect to it if I type in the name by hand, but I can't browse to it from either Windows or MacOSX boxes (`smbclient -L host` also won't see it). I'm using Debian sarge with package version 3.0.10-1 I've been searching around and I have only found one or two references to this problem, both of which are about 4 years old. Is this actually a limitation ? a bug in my config ? a known bug ? Any help is appreciated Cheers Dave

The NetShareEnum RAP call only returns share name of 12 characters or less. This would affect smbclient which is what I'm assuming you are referring asking about. This would also affect Windows 9x clients. cheers, jerry ====================================================================Alleviating the pain of Windows(tm) ------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ----- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "I never saved anything for the swim back."
