Description Alex Masterov 2005-07-14 20:38:33 UTC 
Running some DOS applications (e.g. Norotn Commander 5.0 for DOS) from Samba
drive from OS/2 workstation causes error.
Comment 1 Alex Masterov 2005-07-14 20:41:42 UTC 
This is new for 3.0.20 (3.0.20rc1-SVN-build-8457), 
3.0.15 and prior versions don't contain this bug.

Comment 5 Jeremy Allison 2005-07-18 15:29:02 UTC 
I think the problem was we're not correctly returning the open access mode
for SMBopen calls - bug in the new open mode rewrite. Please try the attached
patch and let me know if this fixes it. I'm also committing it into the 3.0
and HEAD trees.
Thanks,
Jeremy.

(In reply to comment #5)
With this patch I can run Norton. But it cannot display any files after running.
It shows empty panels for a long time and then displays a error message "Can not
display more than 2000 files".
Dir command in DOS box shows ".." entries infinitely.
I'll open a new bug.
Comment 7 Jeremy Allison 2005-07-18 20:15:05 UTC 
Thanks - if you can do the same comparative sniff against a working 3.0.14a on
the new bug as you did here it will help finding the bug immesely.

Thanks,

Jeremy.

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