Printing from Win95 to samba-2.0.0

Hi,

well, I have found what I think is the problem.

Unix_convert in smbd/filename.c converts empty file names to "." to prevent
a search of the cache if a name gets trimmed to noting.

This upsets the code that does special things for printer shares.

I have added an extra guard to the 

    if (!*name)

to take printer connections into account.

We will see if it works.



Regards
