After today's samba update, Centos 3 boxes can not use samba to communicate with each other, although Windows and the Centos 3 boxes see each other correctly as do RHEL5 and the Centos3 boxes. The du
Upon further investigation, samba can only no longer use wildcards of any type or do things like 'ls' . Doing ls /mnt/SHARE/<complete file name> works fine whereas ls /mnt/SHARE/<partial>* gives an invalid result.
I wonder if there is still is a compilation option (there was a few years ago) to enable/disable wildcards which is either turned off or has been disabled?
If one knows the complete file name on a Centos 3 share then one has no problem. Windows boxes (and Linux boxes other than Centos 3) work fine and that is the way most admins use samba so this is hardly a crisis. ( Unlike the Ubuntu people who report that nmbd is segfaulting on their boxes and apparently have a different problem).
