[SOLVED] Samba can't see shares with names over ?8? or so characters long

Old_Fogie · 11-22-2009, 12:37 PM

I'm wondering if anyone found a way to see shares with a name such as: "my-shares-on-such-and-such-computer" This worked in 12.1/12.2 but the shares don't show with the samba version in --current (13.0+). Of note, smbclient does not list the shares either. Any thoughts appreciated.

Looks like a but in Samba 3.4.2. I can reproduce it but have not checked if the latest release (3.4.3) has fixed this. I can see a reference to this bug in the debian/ubuntu bugtracker but since launchpad seems to be offline I can not get to the actual patch file for 3.4.2 (fix-smbclient-long-names.patch)

Hello Alien Bobo

Thanks for the reply. I extracted the diff out of their office *.dsc file. Going to try and give it whirl. If I can't get it to work, well I'll just wait for the next version of Samba to hit --current then.

Thanks again.

I'm going to mark this as solved since upstream at Samba they appear to have fixed this, and presumably Mr. V will add it to --current which I'm running.

Hey Old_Fogie, good to see that you're still alive and kicking!

Old_Fogie · 11-25-2009, 11:52 AM

...and taking names!

Hey, welcome back, Old_Fogie! Good to see you on the forum, again.

Just a follow up, this issue is now resolved in --current. Haway
