The NetShareEnum RAP function only supports 13 8 bit characters. Longer
Unicode names may be retrieved with the analogous DCE/RPC function
however we do not support that at this time. XP may be using DCE/RPC
functions exclusively although I'm not sure what you're referring to
Matt. For Solaris, I suppose the server is ASU or Samba in which case
I do not know why some shares would not be returned. It could be the
same reason as above or something else. We would need a packet capture
to know definitively.

A  program should be written to model the concepts of the task it
performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes  the  potential  for it to be applied to tasks that are
conceptually  similar and, more important, to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
