After upgrading our Suse Linux 9.2 / Samba 3.011 server to Samba 3.012 with no configuration changes, shares could be mounted from Windows XP but contents where not visible anymore. I had to set "hide special files = no" in order to see files and directories again. "hide special files" was globally set to "yes" originally. Partial smb.conf: [global] create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 ea support = Yes map acl inherit = Yes hide unreadable = Yes hide special file = Yes (3.011) / No (3.012) map archive = No mangled names = No store dos attributes = Yes [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /wzb/netlogon guest ok = Yes browseable = No [wzb] comment = WZB File Server Share path = /wzb/samba read only = No inherit permissions = Yes inherit acls = Yes veto files = /.*/
Created attachment 1291 [details] patch to fix "hide special hides all" issue The same still exist in 3.0.14a Fixing of issue is trivial, see the patch.

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