samba - Jul 2010 - check_reduced_name

Hi,

I've installed a new samba server (3.4.7) with LDAP and some users are
having problems to access their folders.
The error is shown below.

[2010/07/02 09:17:14,  1] smbd/vfs.c:932(check_reduced_name)
  reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for bkp/*

It occurs randomly. Every time the machine comes up, some users get this
error and others start having access again.
Does anybody have a hint what could be done?

Thanks,

Renato Mendes

It's logged when the VFS realpath call gets an access denied
message. It's caused by a debuglevel being too low.

See bug 7409 for the simple fix.
