similar to: Non running DOS programs from path with long names

Hi list, Having some trouble getting Samba to properly display directory names for a DOS machine. Basically, I have a few old DOS 6.2 boxes mapped to a Samba box to drop some files into. The folder name on the Samba box is 'filerouter' (no quotes). Under the normal DOS filename structure, I would assume the name would be adjusted to filerou~1, or something similar, to fit with the 8.3

Hey list, I thought I'd try this one more time. I can't believe there isn't any way to get directory names to be listed properly under DOS 6.2. My original message was: I'm having some trouble getting Samba to properly display directory names for a DOS machine.

Greetings Group I think the Word crashing problem is quite common and does not confine itself to Samba as PDC. Running Word with any file open on a Samba server seems to invite trouble and file trashing. This seems to more of a problem with Win2000 and XP than Win9X and NT. I suspect that Micorsoft have "improved" the code to "optimise" performance for Micorsoft

I create a Bootdisk from Win98 with "sys a:" and the netsetup from the Microsoft FTP-server to have TCP/IP under DOS. I can map the shares from Samba to a drive with: "net use d: \\server\win98" The problem is that all long filenames are mangled, but not in the way DOS does it. The Folder "Program Files" does not become "Progra~1" but "Progr~4Z".

I have compiled and tested Samba 3-alpha (CVS up to 10/12/01) and I have the following problem. Anyone tell me what I am doing wrong as I can't believe that I am the only person suffering from this. The environment is Mandrake 7.2 with kernel 2.2.17 talking to multiple machines running Win98 and WinMe. This also happens on Mandrake 8.1 with kernel 2.4.8. I have the ability to easily

Have laptops use a VPN to Sec2 whenever in Unsecure 2, and make sure that Sec1 is also routable through

Long-time Samba user. Love it! I have a dozen or so computers accessing several file (SMB) shares. All but two are in fixed locations. Some of those have fixed IPs, the rest DHCP IPs but they don't move between subnets. The last two, both laptops, are the problem. They move back and forth between two subnets. Specifically: There are three relevant subnets. I'll call them Secure 1,

Hi, I tried to upgrade from Samba 2.2.8a to 3.0. It worked generally speaking fine and speed went up tremendously, BUT since then the DOS conversion of long file names is freaking me out. Using long file names produced a readable short version plus ~1 oder ~x. where x stands for a number. now long file names produce some cryptic 8 letter name plus extension. listing in a DOS box

Thanks for the reply. I agree it's reasonable to expect me to update to see if that fixes the problem. I have started that very long process. I would not have bothered you all except, in the meantime, we have a real problem with the laptops. Also, since the fixed machines do not have the problem, I can see only two reasons for it: (1) The laptops are relying on broadcast, which isn't

Hi! Just like to know if anyone have the same problem and the solution for this: At our company we buy that UNKNOWN os called MS XP Pro, after a while the users report some errors when they try to copy to our samba fileserver, before we use Win98 at the client side, and that problem was not observable. The copy start at 50mbit/sec and somehow it's stops and just waiting waiting about 10-20

Speaking of GELI / GBDE. I was reading Marc's excellent paper on Complete harddrive encryption for FreeBSD using GBDE/GELI and the problem I have is it all depends on a bootable removable token that can by physically secured. While an excellent solution for laptop / desktop users it just doesn't work with a remote colo users. No way you can physically remove your unsecure boot token or

I'm having troubles with a DOS program running from a samba 3 share. When I close the program it tells: General failure reading drive F Abort, Retry, Fail? (F is a network drive mapped on the samba share) I have increased smbd debug level and after retrying I have this in the log: [2003/09/28 11:19:56, 3] lib/util.c:unix_clean_name(580) unix_clean_name [/TTN02/RESHET1/DOJ] [2003/09/28

Can you help please? All file und dir funktions and also basename() do not work in R under Windows OS if the path is longer than?260?characters. The problem seems to be, that the manifest for all R executables do not have the longPathAware switch in the manifest. (The registry and or the group policy for the long path name support are enabled) This is the correct extension for the manifest of

Hello all, after endless searching for days you might be able to help. In short: Is there a way to get Samba accept only 8.3 filenames and directory names on a share? The problem: From a windows client a user should be able to save files on a destination (samba share) which aren't longer than the old 8.3 dos convention. This is a requirement for a system behind it, which can only deal

Hi to all. Is it possible to disable unsecure POP3 protocol at all in Dovecot 2.1? There was "protocols" option in 1.x version, and there was separate pop3 and pop3s modules. There is no "pop3s" in configuration files in 2.1.

I am trying to run the CyberMegaPhone demo to see the WebRTC Video Conference demonstration from AstriDevCon 2017 I have been able to make WebRTC work on this same box with SIPML5 demo but not the CMP2K. When I attempt to access the https://myip:8089/cmp2k I am prompted for the unsecure web. I enable unsecure web. (Using the asterisk local certificate generation from the SIPML5 demo). After

Hi, Can anybody points me to a *complete* doc explaining how to emule a DOS progs ? When i want to run a DOS prog, wine tells me 'winedos.dll.so Cannot find symbol MZ_Thread' or something like this" Thanks. -- Aurélien

from the website intro page: Wine's main task is to run Windows executables under non Windows operating systems. It supports different types of executables: DOS executable. Those are even older programs, using the DOS format (either .com or .exe (the later being also called MZ)). Tried it: fixme:module:__wine_load_dos_exe DOS executables not supported on this platform in thread Execution DOS

Hello, Before writing here I really tried almost everything, reading the archives here, the FAQ and dozens of more or less well commented online guides and posts. My environment is a Windows server, with IIS as web server (I know, blame and flame on me, but this was available on my hands at the time). The server is hosting several websites and an icecast 2.4.4 running an online radio. The radio
