[Samba] samba 3.0.28, directory name is garbled.

[Evans, Bill]

Fixed, from the O'Reilly manual Chapter 5.4.2 Mangling Options

add mangled names = no ( works in the per share space, not sure about
the global space ) and all works fine (so far anyway)

[fu]
        comment = %U's Home Directory
        path = /home/%U
        read only = No
        acl check permissions = Yes
        force security mode = 0775
        force directory mode = 0775
        inherit permissions = Yes
        inherit acls = Yes
        map acl inherit = Yes
        case sensitive = No
        veto files = /.tnatr:*/
        browseable = Yes
        vfs objects = zfsacl
        mangled names = no

Trailing spaces are illegal in a Windows name so Samba
has to mangle them (it does the same for names with a
':' also).
