Connect fails with NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME due to garbage characters — at Initial Version

Description

The problem is found in 3.0.25rc1, rc2 and rc3. It was not there in 3.0.25pre2 and earlier.

When a whole drive (i.e. K:/ or K:) is shared in smb.conf AND a loglevel of 3 or 4 is defined in smb.conf, connecting to the share will fail with a NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME.

I have provided some logs as attachments to this ticket. Browsing the logs (search for "K:/" in the log.samba.192.168.1.3 files), you will see that it is quite obvious, why this fails, as there are garbage characters after the share name:

If the smb.conf section looks like:


[k]

path = k:/


the logfile entry at loglevel 3 or 4 will be:

[2007/04/13 17:20:15, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1014)

'K:/d 548 ' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [k]

Note the the garbage after K:/ !

A workaround for this problem is either not to use loglevel 3 or 4 or use a different notation in smb.conf:


[k]

path = k:/./


Both measures make the problem go away.

Additional notes:

  • The problem does not occur with with loglevel 1, 5, 6 and 10, others not tested.
  • WinXP is sometimes able to connect successfully at the second attempt, smbclient.exe however can never connect.
