Name mangling bug: was samba bug?

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Hi James;

Well, "should" is such a relative concept... ;->
But looking at a log level 10, we can see that samba is indeed mangling
foo...
  
[2001/09/26 11:23:58, 5] smbd/trans2.c:(447)
  get_lanman2_dir_entry found ./foo... fname=foo...
[2001/09/26 11:23:58, 5] smbd/mangle.c:(989)
  name_map_mangle( foo..., need83 = FALSE, cache83 = TRUE, 1 )
[2001/09/26 11:23:58, 5] smbd/mangle.c:(1024)
  name_map_mangle() ==> [foo...]
[2001/09/26 11:23:58, 5] smbd/mangle.c:(338)
  Checking foo... for 8.3
[2001/09/26 11:23:58, 5] smbd/mangle.c:(989)
  name_map_mangle( foo..., need83 = TRUE, cache83 = TRUE, 1 )
[2001/09/26 11:23:58, 5] smbd/mangle.c:(338)
  Checking foo... for 8.3
[2001/09/26 11:23:58, 5] smbd/mangle.c:(871)
  Mangling name FOO... to FOO~0R
[2001/09/26 11:23:58, 5] smbd/mangle.c:(1024)
  name_map_mangle() ==> [FOO~0R]


And in fact, if you go into a command prompt window, and type 

dir k: /x  (where k: is mapped to the share that contains the directory
foo..)
you will see the mapped name along with the 'real' name.
you can then type 
dir k:\FOO~0R

and you will get the directory listing you would expect.

The issue isn't with samba, but with the windows explorer not showing you
the 'mangled' 8.3 names, or using them when they do the request across the
wire.

IMHO, anyway...

Hope this helps,
Don

So then samba *should* mangle the unix file "foo..."?
