[Samba] samba does not display all directories

[Combernous, Fabien]

Hello all,

A solaris server named bellow solarisserver share via samba (Samba 3.0.13) with network.

Bellow an extract from the smb.conf file.

[global]
        workgroup = WORKGROUP
        server string = solarisserver
        security = SERVER
        password server = passwordserver
        username map = /C/netlocal/samba/lib/users.map
        log level = 1
        log file = /var/log/samba/byHost/log.%I
        deadtime = 15
        load printers = No
        preferred master = No
        local master = No
        domain master = No
        ldap ssl = no
        default service = cmn$
        NIS homedir = Yes
        follow symlinks = No

[cmn$]
        path = /topsys/cmn/%S
        read only = No

Directly on the solarisserver with the smbclient tool , or on the windows desktop same result :

In the directory CLST.WRH, the existing directory CGND.WRH is not displayed.

[root] solarisserver # smbclient -U myuser //solarisserver/mfd

With tcpdump i can see that the solarisserver does not give information to the smbclient about  the directory CGND.WRH. So the client can't display it. And the issue should be on the server.

But it is possible to access to this "hiddend" directory :

smb: \TREATMENT.WRH\CLST.WRH\> cd CGND.WRH
smb: \TREATMENT.WRH\CLST.WRH\CGND.WRH\> ls
  .                                   D       0  Mon Sep 15 10:16:13 2003

                33649 blocks of size 131072. 4148 blocks available
smb: \TREATMENT.WRH\CLST.WRH\CGND.WRH\>

If i create the directory \TREATMENT.WRH\CLST.WRH\CGND.WRH.foo, then the directory \TREATMENT.WRH\CLST.WRH\CGND.WRH is displayed by the smb client.

No special options like in [1] are used .
[1] http://oreilly.com/openbook/samba/book/ch05_02.html

The charset are the same for the two directories :
/mnt/TREATMENT.WRH/CLST.WRH$ file -i CGND.WRH/
CGND.WRH/: inode/directory; charset=binary
/mnt/TREATMENT.WRH/CLST.WRH$ file -i CFLT.WRH/
CFLT.WRH/: inode/directory; charset=binary
/mnt/TREATMENT.WRH/CLST.WRH$ file -i CFLT.WRH/*
CFLT.WRH/8299100_001: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
CFLT.WRH/FLT82.WRH:   inode/directory; charset=binary
/mnt/TREATMENT.WRH/CLST.WRH$ file -i CGND.WRH/*
CGND.WRH/8199100_001: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
CGND.WRH/8199100_002: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
CGND.WRH/POST81.WRH:  inode/directory; charset=binary
CGND.WRH/PRE81.WRH:   inode/directory; charset=binary
CGND.WRH/TOO81.WRH:   inode/directory; charset=binary

I'm stuck. Help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
