We've been using a fairly old version of samba for quite some time to serve
user home directories and group project directories with a configuration
approximately like:
-----
[global]
default service = groups
[homes]
path = /export/user/%u
[groups]
path = /export/group/%S
-----
This has worked out very well, the samba configuration is minimal, and does
not need to be changed as users/groups come and go.
However, while trying to use the same configuration for a newer version of
Samba, groups with _'s in their names were not working.
On reviewing the documentation, I found out that at some point Samba
started translating _'s to /'s for the %S substitution in the default
service.
That breaks our configuration, for a group 'foo_bar' Samba tries to access
/export/group/foo/bar instead of /export/group/foo_bar.
Is there any way to disable this translation such that %S is substituted as
is and prevent the mangling? I really don't want to have to explicitly list
every group in the Samba configuration, there are thousands.
Thanks...
