thanks for the fish

Quoting Mike Young (debian at elyoung.com):
> Package: samba
> Version: 2:3.2.5-4lenny7
> Severity: important
> Tags: patch
> 
> 
> This is a regression from etch.
> It affects samba 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4
> 
> When using "mangling method=hash" versus the default hash2 samba will 
> not serve long filenames. (Everything is mangled... even 8.3 files).
> 
> We upgraded last weekend and uncovered this bug. We (and many other 
> shops) use "hash" to maintain backwards compatibility with DOS/Win31 
> programs and Windows Shares (Yes, Yes, I know we should be upgrading. 
> :-) )
> 
> Upstream has this problem listed as bug 6939 (Critical)
> https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6939
> 
> There is a (very simple) patch attached to that bug.
> (the patch is to negate the return value of must_mangle in 
> mangle_hash.c)
> 
> Opening this Debian bug to get the fix into whichever release we can, so 
> I can install an official (testing/backports if necessary) package on 
> systems here.

Thanks for your report. From the information you give, I think this
issue is probably worth an update to stable.

Steve, would you object to this?

Mike, what we might need is a confirmation that the proposed patch in
upstream is considered OK. I will subscribe ourselves to the upstream
bug ASAP to track this down....but I might forget..:-)...so, if you
have more information about the bug, feel free to forward it to the
bug report.
