Description EOLE Team 2015-11-09 10:42:02 UTC
Hello,

This bug report follow a mail on the mailing-list[1].

We have some directories displayed as “unknown files” under windows when we use the scannedonly VFS.

Here are the steps to reproduce:

* Install Ubuntu Trusty Thar server, normal user called “ubuntu”


* Install “samba”

root@ubuntu:~# apt-get install samba samba-vfs-modules


* Install clamav

root@ubuntu:~# apt-get install clamav


* Download clamav database

root@ubuntu:~# freshclam


* Install a precompiled scannedonly package

root@ubuntu:~# wget http://eole.ac-dijon.fr/eole/pool/main/s/scannedonly/scannedonly_0.21-1_amd64.deb

root@ubuntu:~# dpkg -i scannedonly_0.21-1_amd64.deb


* Edit samba configuration to add

root@ubuntu:~# cat > /etc/samba/smb.conf <<EOF
[global]
    netbios name = srvtest
    workgroup = domtest
        server string = srvtest
        wins support = yes
        dns proxy = no
        domain master = no
        os level = 99
        unix extensions = no
        nt acl support = yes
        wide links = yes
        oplocks = no
        level2 oplocks = no
        vfs objects = scannedonly
        scannedonly:allow_nonscanned_files=True
        store dos attributes = no
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 1000
        syslog = 0
        panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
        server role = standalone server
        passdb backend = tdbsam
        obey pam restrictions = yes
        unix password sync = yes
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
        pam password change = yes
        map to guest = bad user

        comment = All Printers
        browseable = no

        create mask = 0700

        comment = Printer Drivers
        path = /var/lib/samba/printers
        browseable = yes

        guest ok = no
[share]
        path = /home/share
        browseable = yes
        writeable = yes
EOF


* Prepare directories

root@ubuntu:~# mkdir -p /home/share/test
root@ubuntu:~# chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /home/share


* Restart services

root@ubuntu:~# service nmbd restart; service smbd restart


* Add “ubuntu” user to samba

smbpasswd -a ubuntu


* Explore “\\srvtest\share” on a windows machine (tested with windows 7) => “test” is a directory


* Run the following command to make thing buggy

root@ubuntu:~# for letter in {a..z}; do head -c 5000 /dev/urandom > /home/share/${letter}.exe; done


* Refresh the Explorer window => “test” is an unknown file


* Delete all “.exe” files

root@ubuntu:~# rm -f /home/share/*.exe


* Refresh the explorer => “test” is an unknown file


* Delete all “.scanned” files

root@ubuntu:~# rm -f /home/share/.scanned*


* Refresh the explorer => “test” is a directory

Regards.

Debug level10 of wrong display of “test” directory

This log file capture was started before the refresh where the “test” directory is displayed as “unknown file”.
