Hi...
I noticed a bug with samba 2.2.8a on my SuSE 9.0 box. I use the
UltraEdit text editor to edit my php files in a samba share. By default
this text editor places .bak files next to the changed file.
What I now noticed was this problem:
I edit a file 1234567.php and it generates a file 1234567.php.bak. I can
open and edit the 1234567.php normally.
I edit a file 123456789.php with the same result as the 1234567.php.
But: Once I edit a file 12345678.php and the 12345678.php.bak file is
generated, the text editor no longer can access the 12345678.php. If I
try to open the 12345678.php any application (i.e. even notepad.exe)
only opens the 12345678.php.bak file. I tried this with several file
names. It only happens with filenames that have exactly 8.3 characters.
This seems to me like a genuine bug in handling those files. I attached
my smb.conf in case it only is a configuration error, but this behaviour
seems rather strage just to be a configuration error, since it only
happens with files that have the mentioned specific filename format.
So long,
Marc...
