samba - Aug 2005 - error with rd /s in windows 2000 shell

Hi all,

We are running a samba (3.0.14a-3 / sarge) server with windows 2000
Client. (recent remplacement of a NT server)

The problem his that when I try to recursivly remove a folder on a samba
share with "rd /s" on the windows shell, the command return an error
and
stop deletting subfile when the number of subfile exceed (exactly) 130.
At the end of the command only 130 are deleted and not the full directory.

That's very important for me because some of ours developers use this
command in a lot of shell script.

Should I increase some mysterious smb.conf paramater or something else ?

Thank's in advance,
	
	Thomas

Could you test out the current SAMBA_3_0_RELEASE tree.
We're getting ready to ship 3.0.20 and as far as I know
directory listings and removal is working ok.   The changes
between 3.0.14a and 3.0.20 are pretty substancial though
so I can't point to a specific patch you could apply.




cheers, jerry
