Hello all,
I have an old server here, which is my PDC and has worked fine so far.
It runs Conectiva Linux 8.0 and Samba 3.0.4
Here's the deal. In a share (I didn't check all, this is the one that
the
users complained so far), there are files missing.
The problem: In Windows XP Pro workstations, when browsing the share, which
should have more than 1,000 files, only about 200 show up. However, if I
log on to the machine locally and go to the share directory, all the files
are there. The curious thing is that the files don't show up on the
user's
EExplorer, but if he tries to save a file with the same name, the system
asks if he wants to overwrite the file. And even if he does overwrite the
files, the files don't show up on the browsing.
I know that 3.0.4 is an old Samba version, but I haven't upgraded to 3.0.11
yet because I'm afraid something will screw up and that I won't be able
to
return to the previous state (this system was put together by an external
consultant which tangled it in a way nobody understands how it works - we
are in a migration process, but I need this thing working before the
migration to the new Samba server, which will take some time yet)
I was wondering if special chars (such as ? and ?) could prevent files from
being browseable, but that's not the pattern. Some files with special chars
such as these show up, and some don't.
Info below.
Thanks for any assistance.
