[Bug 676304] Re: Samba fails with files having colon in file name

[Arto Jääskeläinen]

Please notice error can be seen only when mangling is off  i.e.  all file names are shown unmodified.   
That mode is absolutely needed.  There is not much use for changing    "my-video-from-vacation-2011-01-16-08:54:02"  into  "C7MXR~1" ( =default setting of Samba for long file names) when viewing that share and copying files.

Title:
  Samba fails with files having colon in file name

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “samba” package in openSUSE:
  Fix Released

Bug description:

  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu 10.10
  Release:	       10.10
  Codename:   maverick
  Kernel:         2.6.35-22-generic

  - Long file names including colon
  - Samba with mangling disabled

  I inserted "mangled names = no" to /etc/samba/smb.conf because I need
  to see long file names. That works ok except with those file names
  containing colon. I have a lot files containing colon in file name
  since those files are originally named according to date and time.
  That is very common with videos and photos. I have Linux-only
  environment i.e. colon is a legal character in a file name.

  Regression ?  Please see:
