Shortened sharenames

[August Zajonc]

Dang, you beat me to it...

Took a quick glance through using cvsweb, which makes x-refs a pain to
track.... Think the problem might lie with the snippet:

	  for (i=0;i<count;i++,p+=20)
	    {
	      char *sname = p;
	      int type = SVAL(p,14);
	      int comment_offset = IVAL(p,16) & 0xFFFF;
	      char *cmnt = comment_offset?(rdata+comment_offset-converter):"";
	      fn(sname, type, cmnt);
	    }

in cli_RNetShareEnum?

If I get a moment later in the week I'll download the complete source and
poke through it more carefully.
