Package: samba Version: 2:3.2.5-4lenny7 Severity: important Tags: patch
This is a regression from etch. It affects samba 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 When using "mangling method=hash" versus the default hash2 samba will not serve long filenames. (Everything is mangled... even 8.3 files). We upgraded last weekend and uncovered this bug. We (and many other shops) use "hash" to maintain backwards compatibility with DOS/Win31 programs and Windows Shares (Yes, Yes, I know we should be upgrading. :-) ) Upstream has this problem listed as bug 6939 (Critical) https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6939 There is a (very simple) patch attached to that bug. (the patch is to negate the return value of must_mangle in mangle_hash.c) Opening this Debian bug to get the fix into whichever release we can, so I can install an official (testing/backports if necessary) package on systems here. If you need more info from me, or if I can help in anyway, please let me know. --Mike Young -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
