similar to: Re: Long Directory Names and DOS

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

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

[sorry for my maybe newbie Qs and using this group for my busybox issue but though having visited some forums about this I'm getting nuts] I unslugged a Linksys NSLU2 device with V2.3R63-uNSLUng-6.8-beta as I plan to use it as a DC replacement for my W2k server at home. But I already got stuck before this. Following the unslinging I installed the Samba3 IPKGs for the NSLU guided by the hints

Hello, With a default CP850 dos charset, I can?t connect and receive a ?protocol negotiation failed? error message # testparm -v |grep charset Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Module '/usr/lib/charset/CP850.so' loaded Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE dos charset = CP850 unix charset = UTF-8 display charset = LOCALE # smbclient -L MYSERVER

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

Does ANYONE know why a directory listing from the MSDOS box of a Windows9x/Me client of a Samba 3 share on Linux not show the long filenames as well as the mangled form? This works on Samba 2.2.3. All I get is this. Volume in drive T is TESTBED1 Directory of T:\ COMPATID TXT 95 15/10/00 16:05 AUTOEXEC I4 406 04/12/00 17:17 NPWMSDRM DLL 8,608 08/06/00

Hello, I have a unix server (arch linux) with samba 4.1.14. The share has files inside which where created directly on the server. Linux and OSX (10.10.1) clients should access the share and store files. When I mount this samba share into the osx client (10.10.1), files created directly on the server with special names like `File with "quotes"` are displayed mangled (`C7XSWH~V`) on the

Greetings List I have a redhat 7.3/Samba 2.2.3a file server (NOT PDC) on a linux/windows network. Everything seemed to work well in Win32 land until we noticed this interesting feature. We have stored a DOS program ("DOSPROG.EXE") in a local public Samba share, 777 directory and file permissions. So all open and highly unsecure. We want to run the program from a Win98 client. To do

Hello I'm currently using Samba 2.2.7a to run as NT domain, file server and etc. This is fragment of my smb.conf [global] [...] client code page = 852 character set = ISO8859-2 mangle case = yes case sensitive = no preserve case = yes default case = lower short preserve case = no [...] Now I trying migrate existing configuration and filesystem to samba 3.0.0, and I have some problems with

Hi there, I ran 2 years a perfect samba 2.2.12 on a suse 8 machine, acting as a pdc with w2k-clients. Printing was done with raw-printing over smb to cups (client-side drivers). The old dns-name was "server.localnet", the netbios-name "server". After changing my internal dns-system to "*.example" there is no access to my printer (hp photosmart 1000)

Please help! I downloaded samba-3.0.0.0 for AIX from Bullfreeware.com. It downloaded and installed fine - I followed the instructions carefully. I revised the /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf files and created the test/default smb.conf file. I linked /usr/local/samba back to /usr/local as a tip suggested. But I can't get the smbd or nmbd daemons or swat to start up! /usr/local/sbin/smbd

Hi all, After having spend 2 days to resolve my problem to configure Samba 3.0 (the path to the libgcc_s was wrong) I've finally installed it and I'm trying to join the W2K AD domain with the command: 1. kinit admin@OUR.DOMAIN.ORG (asking password and getting the ticket from the W2K) 2. net ads join -Uadmin@OUR.DOMAIN.ORG (doesn't work) error message : [2003/02/06 15:09:02, 0]

I'm trying to start smbd (samba 3.0.22) as daemon (smbd -D --configfile=/etc/smb.conf) on solaris 9 sparc with current recommended patches but the smbd process never returns from trying to become a daemon. Samba was built with ldap, (heimdal) kerberos and active directory support using gcc 3.3.2 from sunfreeware. Solaris 9 is a new install on a development machine with production patches.
