Description Andres Yacopino 2003-12-05 07:18:02 UTC 
I have installed samba 3.0.0(before I have 2.2.7), and i can ´t see shares with
names that are long to 13 characters (i can see only 13 characters).
This problem is when i browsing with a pc with windows 98 not when i am using
windows 2000.
The share are in a Sun Server (sparc) with Solaris 8.
I have compiled the samba 3.0.0 with -acl support.
Thank you very much

And your saying that win98 could view lo9ng share names 
with Samba 2.2.7 ?  I'm not sure I believe that.  Can you 
send me a screen shot of it working against 2.2.7.
Comment 2 Andres Yacopino 2003-12-05 09:22:51 UTC 
I have noticed the problem only recently, and i have upgraded the 2.2.7 version
to 3. I can ´t test 2.2.7. . May be what you said, that even worked for 2.2.7.
I am sending you two images.
In the first the problem, for example the folder comisiones_bs is
comisiones_bsas actually.
(acadb_archivo=acadb_archivos
cobranzas_bsa=cobranzas_bsas
comisiones_ro=comisiones_ros
etc..)

In the second image, you can see that the problem is only in the root of the
sharefolders.

Windows 98 cannot view long share names.  It is a feature of 
the client OS.
