Description David W. Legg 2005-01-18 09:04:53 EST 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Description of problem:
Have smb.conf that is otherwise working and includes the following lines:

[data]
browsable = yes
path = /data
...
dont descend = /data/aba/CGI



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
samba 3.0.9-1.3E.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up smb.conf as above
2. service smb start
3. point NT explorer at data share
4. descend into /data/aba/CGI
5. should see nothing in CGI directory
    

Actual Results:  6. Could see contents of CGI directory and below.


Expected Results:  Should have seen the CGI directory as an empty
directory.

Additional info:

Tried dont descend = ./data/aba/CGI but this did not help.
Comment 1 Jay Fenlason 2005-01-18 15:30:59 EST 
CIFS (and Windows in general) does wierd things with mixed-case 
directories.  I tried "dont descend = data/aba/cgi" and it worked as 
documented.  Re-read the section on page 521 of the HOWTO and 
Reference Guid where it says "Note that Samba can be very fussy 
about the exact format of the "dont descend" entries.  For example, 
you may need ./proc instead of just /proc.  Experimentation is the 
best policy. :-)
Comment 2 David W. Legg 2005-01-21 14:37:00 EST 
I tried the path with both upper and lower case directory names.
I tried it with and wihout the leading slash.
I tried it with './' at the beginning.
I even tried just naming the directory not to be descended, eg. 'CGI'.

It only worked when I tried it with a top level directory, eg. /proc
Multi-level paths, eg. /data/aba/CGI, just do not work.
