In windows, it's possible to use workgroup names containing an @ as the first character (or any other position i presume), like '@home' (used by a cable-internet provider in the Netherlands). Samba thinks this the @ sign is used for authentication only. This prevents me from browsing these workgroups. Is this a missing samba feature or a windows bug?
Created attachment 183 [details] patch for characters in username/domain
you can try this patch. However 2.2.x is in maintainence mode and isn't going to get much work due form here on out. I would suggest spending some time testing 3.0.
Thanx for the quick response. I'll try the patch as soon as possible. I'd like to start testing on 3.0, however the problem is samba is installed on our main server and I don't want to take the risk running an ¨unstable¨ version on that server. I'll try to install samba 3.0 on a backup PC i've got running overhere.
closing. FIxed in 3.0
