[Samba] Wierd 8.3 Name Mangling
I've installed Samba 3.0.7 (stock Debian package), but I'm having some wierd problems with name mangling. The relevant lines in smb.conf are: preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes mangled names = yes mangle prefix = 5 mangling method = hash2 In a share, I did touch test-file.GHO to create a long filename. When I do a dir under DOS, however, it shows: TVTSSK~S GHO 0 11-02-04 3:07p test-file.GHO I can't see how samba came up with this mangled name. I tried changing the mangle prefix and/or mangle method but it made no difference. I made sure I killed the smbd process after any changes I made and can see it being restarted and a new TCP connection established to it. Any ideas? Thanks!

I never did get to the root cause but chnageing the value of max protocol and restarting generally got me to a workign setup.

The name shown (TVTSSK~S GHO) is a has2 mangled name, as to be expected.

The name shown (TVTSSK~S GHO) is a has2 mangled name, as to be expected. Okay, but, as I said, I tried changing the mangle method (to just hash) and still got the same results. Perhaps my Windoze box has cached the result somehow or the correct process did not restart... Yup, sure enough... Reboot Windoze and the now it shows TEST-~AM.GHO. Thanks!
