Description Alex Masterov 2005-03-27 23:44:43 UTC
When attempting to run any foxpro 2.6 for DOS application (or foxpro itself)
from the Samba 3.0.12 and upper shared drive the error "Cannot locate the
desired version of FoxPro" occuried. Client is Windows 98.
This bug present in 3.0.14pre1-SVN-build-6092. 
Making all files on UNIX side UPPERCASE elliminates this error, i.e. FoxPro apps
start normaly.

Ok, I'll take a look at this and try and get a fix asap.
Thanks,
Jeremy.
Comment 4 Jeremy Allison 2005-03-28 14:21:56 UTC
Ok, the trace you're showing me show that the SMBsearch reply is still
being done in lowercase. The changed code in lib/util.c is now :

        /* We only uppercase if the protocol is downrev.
           Strange, but verified on W2K3. Needed for OS/2. JRA. */
        push_ascii(buf+30,fname,12,Protocol < PROTOCOL_NT1 ? STR_UPPER : 0);

So this means the client must be negotiating NT1 protocol. Can you send me
the trace showing the negprot ? I thought the code we had here was correct as if
I do SMBsearch requests against a W2K3 server with NT1 protocol it doesn't
uppercase the names, but I'll re-check. I can easily fix this by making the
"STR_UPPER" flag forced, but I'd prefer to understand the problem.

Jeremy.

Comment 6 Jeremy Allison 2005-03-28 17:34:38 UTC
Ok, I think I have this - it's the incoming FLAGS2 bit
"FLAGS2_LONG_PATH_COMPONENTS" that determines if the reply is uppercase - not
the protocol level at all. Make the server comply with this. Please test this,
I've checked it into SVN. I think it will fix the bug.
Jeremy.

On Samba 3.0.14pre1-SVN-build-6106 FoxPro apps can be runned from Windows 98
successfully.
This bug seems to be fixed.
Thank you!

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