[Samba] Shortened service name results in inaccessible files

[Andreas Heilwagen]

Hello,

we are running samba 2.2.8a on debian 3.0 using kernel 2.5.71 (ok beat 
me for that, but the motherboard sucks!) for 100 Win2k clients. Two 
clients have been identified which repeatedly fail to open a certain tif 
file. I got the following error message:

[2003/06/18 16:23:33, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(252)
   mmag-wrk-055 (10.100.1.133) couldn't find service teamfolde

The service "teamfolde" is shortend (perhaps by the logging code?), the 
share is named "teamfolders". There are currently no other known 
systematic errors or configuration issues.

Trying several logging levels including 10 did not result in helpful 
results because I cannot correlate the messages without a kind of 
transaction id.

Please give me a hint where to look futher.


Thanks in advance,
