Greetings.
After creating a new installation with version '4.18.2-2' and copy
configuration from the previous server '4.17.5-1'
I am getting NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID when trying to make files with
':' within their name.
Also existing files with ':' in names start to mangle, until i set
'mangled
names = no'.
I do not have any windows clients.
Are there any parameters that I am missing to restore version '4.17.5-1'
behavior?
Problem:
$ smbclient \\\\192.168.148.192\\nanopct4

The colon is reserved for things like disk names e.g. 'C:'> Are there any parameters that I am missing to restore version '4.17.5-1' > behavior?I am surprised it worked on 4.17.5, that code has been there for a very long time. You could investigate the 'catia' vfs module, try reading 'man vfs_catia', it will translate illegal characters to legal ones. If that doesn't work, you will probably have to use something else instead of the colon. Rowland
