[Samba] smbclient: support for long share names..?

[Dabney, Nathan T.]

I am running smbclient: Version 3.0.6-SUSE (SLES 8.0)
 
I am still unable to see any printer shares with names longer than 12
characters.  Does anyone have an idea how to resolve this?

This is a known limitation of the fact that samba-2.x does NOT support
true UniCode on the wire. This limitation should disappear in Samba-3.0.0
since it handles UniCode.
