From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030702 Description of problem: Since the Samba config tool names the share after the last component of the directory, valid Unix directory names such as "/var/samba share" will create invalid * Samba share names such as [samba share]. * Actually, I'm not entirely sure these names are invalid. AFAIK spaces are out for share names, but Samba 3's testparm utility doesn't complain about them. I have a feeling that that's a bug in testparm, but its worth making sure... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Share out a directory with a space in its name Actual Results: An invalid share name is created Expected Results: I like the way the tool automatically gets the share name from the directory, I think it should just strip invalid share characters like spaces (and maybe compress long names) - so [sambashare] would be created instead of [samba share]. I also think giving people the option to change the share name manually would be useful too. Additional info:
Ah, I see. I now replace whitespce with underscores in the section headers in the config file. Should be fixed in redhat-config-samba-1.1.3-1. Thanks for your report.
