Eric,
I was just reviewing old mail and found this one from you.
See
smb.h:#define FSTRING_LEN 128
The fstring and pstring data types in samba are due
for an overhaul. We ackowledge this and have been considering
what to do. obviously converting from static strings to
dynamic strings is not a trivial thing.
Just wanted to respond so you didn't think you
comments got ignored. :-)
CHeers, jerry
