Description maarten de boer 2005-05-17 09:21:57 UTC 
Doing a gnome login with an empty home directory on a samba mounted directory,
several files are created with strange characters in the filenames in the end
(created by the initial gnome
login)

I cannot reproduce this creating the files by hand, and it certainly does not
happen when I do the login on a local directory, nor when I copy that local
directory to the samba directory.

I use cifs1.34a on top of a vanilla 2.6.11.9, and on both the client and
server side I use samba 3.0.14a

Some examples of the corrupted filenames (they should be called gconf.xml)

Fixed in cifs 1.35.  This fix should be in kernel 2.6.13.
