Description Phill Bertolus 2004-05-25 04:53:49 UTC
Setting recurse to ON and then doing dir or ls will fail to list the contents of
sub-directories. Only the current directory is dealt with.

This is a recent breakage. Worked fine on all versions upto 3.02a. Haven't
checked 3.03.
Comment 1 Phill Bertolus 2004-05-26 00:05:26 UTC
Found it!

Turns out that
static int cmd_dir(void)
had some code changed.

The changes are:
V3.02a which works has a passage of code like so

        pstrcpy(mask,cur_dir);
        if(mask[strlen(mask)-1]!='\\')
                pstrcat(mask,"\\");

which got changed to this is V3.04 which does not work.

        if (strcmp(cur_dir, "\\") != 0) {
                pstrcpy(mask,cur_dir);
                if(mask[strlen(mask)-1]!='\\')
                        pstrcat(mask,"\\");
        } else {
                *mask = '\0';
        }

So, I got the old stuff and stucj it back in and removed the new stuff.

Result: My recursive directory listings are back again!!

I can prepare a patch if that's of any use....???

Phill.

patch undoing this changes in client.c

I've just searched in cvs - this bug was added in revision 1.260 of
samba/source/client/client.c:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revision 1.260, Wed Mar 3 20:55:39 2004 UTC (7 months, 2 weeks ago) by jra
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.259: +43 -3 lines

Use a common function to parse all pathnames from the wire. This allows
much closer emulation of Win2k3 error return codes.

BTW, I made patch reveritng these string to original and now it seems like
smbclient works fine again - my scripts can perform network search again.

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