Win9x can't see share names > 13 char?

[Daniel Nichter]

My long share names work in Samba now, but none
of my Win9x clients can see the full share name,
they truncate the name beyond the 13th character.
So a share name of "123456789012345" shows up as
"1234567890123." Even smbclient truncates the
name. My WinNT server 4.0 doesn't truncate the
name though.

Any solution to this?

Thanks again,
Daniel
