I am new at setting up Samba3. I had heard that the name share name is
supposed to be limited to 8 characters or less; i.e., [home] or [configs],
etc. Is this correct, or can the name be longer? Also, are there any
specific characters that are not allowed? I am not planning on using any,
but I was just wondering.

Ciao!

has simply nothing to do.
