Package: smbfs
Version: 3.0.24-6etch4
Severity: normal
When you use a long hostname in the 'ip' parameter like
'AAAAAAAAAAAA.BBBBBBBBBB.example.com' mount.cifs aborts saying 'ip address
too long'. As far as Google knows, the maximum length of a domain name can be 255
octets, so it seems that 36 is too far from that limit (RFC 1034).
Thanks in advance for your work in this almost perfect GNU/Linux distro :)
Rafael.
