Description Dick Visser 2004-05-12 04:20:19 UTC
I use the samba provided binaries for Debian, and after upgrading from 3.0.2 to
3.0.4 I cannot connect to my servers anymore with Macromedia Homesite (5.0 + 5.5).
This is very strange because I can reach the shares with the Windows Explorer
just fine.
I suspect Homesite does not use the Windows API for accessing network shares but
has some creepy custom code to do this.
FYI if I try to access a share with Homesite, my log says this:

Any help would be appreciated.
My employees cannot work anymore.
I will try to get the older binaries back.

Jeremy, please look at this one.
Comment 2 Bartolomeo D'Alia 2004-05-12 12:48:26 UTC
I have the same problem no windows 2000, after upgrade homesite is not able to
open network drives. 
I have verified that this problem not happen on windows 98 and windows me.
Comment 3 Jeremy Allison 2004-05-13 17:41:30 UTC
This is getting caught by the new check_path_syntax() code that
catches invalid paths such as "..".
What would help here is a ethereal capture file showing it failing against
Samba 3.0.4 and a ethereal capture file showing it succeeding against WNT/2k/2k3.
Can you get this to me ?
Jeremy.

Comment 10 Dick Visser 2004-07-28 02:45:49 UTC
oh no, this bug revives in 3.0.5 :(
Comment 11 Jeremy Allison 2004-07-28 15:28:32 UTC
This was specifically not addressed in 3.0.5 as that was a security release
*only*. This bug is fixed and will be addressed in 3.0.6 and above.
Jeremy.

sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
