| [2005/08/31 08:46:28, 0] smbd/service.c:(797)
|   hostname (ip-address) couldn't find service no_backu

| The real service name ist no_backup, so the last letter of the service
| name in the log file is cut off.
| I think, samba  first tries to connect with no_backu (which does not
| exist) and falls back to no_backup later, so I think this may be a samba
| bug!?

Samba only looks for what the client requets.  We don't
arbitrarily truncate share name by 1.  Could you send me a
raw network packet trace and I'll look in it.




cheers, jerry
