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

[thump]

Problem still exists:

Server:
Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
samba 2:4.3.9+dfsg-0ubuntu0.14.04.3

Client:
Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
samba 2:4.3.9+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 

Setting "mangle names = no" makes files with colon unreadable on samba
clients.

E.g. Share mounted over cifs via fstab.   Try to open file in Dolphin
client returns "Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder
Filename: Example.mp4 does not exist."

All files within same directory that do not contain colons work fine.
Same permissions and filetypes.

  Samba fails with files having colon in file name

  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu

  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:
