This is a known Samba bug, with a known workaround: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1629 Actually as the 2nd post there lists, it's only a partial fix. There is still issues using the 'net rpc share -S <machine>' method. This bug is filed against RHEL 3, which is in maintenance phase. During the maintenance phase, only security errata and select mission critical bug fixes will be released for enterprise products. Since this bug does not meet that criteria, it is now being closed. For more information of the RHEL errata support policy, please visit: http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/ If you feel this bug is indeed mission critical, please contact your support representative. You may be asked to provide detailed information on how this bug is affecting you. |
Description of problem: Setting up a share with a name longer than 12 characters does not show up, or shows a truncated name, when listing shares using the 'smbclient -L <machinename>' command. Samba can successfully create such a long share, and smbclient can successfully connect to a long-named share, but it cannot list them. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-client-3.0.2-6.3E How reproducible: Every Time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a share with longer-than-12-characters in it's name on a Win 2K/XP machine. 1(alt). Create a share with longer-than-12-characters in it's name on a Samba server. 2. Run the command: 'smbclient -N -L <machinename>', or 'smbclient - L <machinename> -U <user>%<pass>' Actual results: Created a share on my local Windows XP machine called 'AReallyLongShareNameGoesHere', and successfully able to view and use the share from Windows. Also able to *use* the share from smbclient. Executing the command: smbclient -N -L STUART lists all available shares except the one listed above. Output was: [root@notes samba-3.0.2]# smbclient -N -L STUART Domain=[STUART] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- PUBLIC Disk Documents 'n stuff - Backup rlj_stu Printer RLP Test IPC$ IPC Remote IPC Documents Disk Documents 'Stuart' - backup print$ Disk Printer Drivers CDROM Disk stuff Disk ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin C$ Disk Default share Domain=[STUART] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- [root@notes samba-3.0.2]# When creating a share on a Samba server, the output is as follows (showing a truncated share-name): [root@notes samba-3.0.2]# smbclient -N -L localhost Anonymous login successful Domain=[PROMED] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.2-6.3E] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- netlogon Disk Network Logon Service bluesky Disk media Disk File Dump of different media publications Disk Pro medicus Publications development Disk Development Share myob Disk MYOB Data store due Disk Due Dilligence Share hpjetsuite Disk HP JetSuite Phonebook data quotes Disk Client Quotes mks Disk MKS Tool Kit/Sandboxes tech Disk Pro Medicus Tech Intranet cygwin Disk CygWin: Windows based Unix environment cdimages Disk CD Images stored on Notes AReallyLongSh Disk smb test IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Pro Medicus File Server (Samba)) ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (Pro Medicus File Server (Samba)) Anonymous login successful Domain=[PROMED] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.2-6.3E] Server Comment --------- ------- Expected results: In previous builds of Samba (2.2.6) these long shares were listed correctly. Additional info: We 'smbclient' to list shares on given user PC's in order to do minor backups of local data. In older releases of samba, this all worked ok. Upon upgrading our server to RHES3, and thus RH3, this functionality has been reduced, forcing us to re-name a number of user shares to shorter names.
