Bug #561545 is a clear regression in samba wrt 3.0.* series. It affects file name mangling when one is setting "name mangling = hash" in smb.conf. In short, only short filenames are mangled...not long ones..:-)
That bug was fixed upstream (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6939) in samba 3.3.10 and 3.4.4 that will be released in early January. Samba 3.2 series is no longer supported by upstream except security-wise, but the fix is fine for it as well. That bug revealed another bug that was hidden by it until now: file and directory names that contain dots were truncated when mangled by using the "hash" method ("Openoffice.org" then becomes "Openoffice", etc.). Of course, it is required to fix that bug is the former bug is fixed. Given that these bugs are clear regressions from the version of samba in etch and even though the "hash" method not being the default mangling method (default is "hash2" and it has no regression) and given that the fix is very obvious and well tested by upstream, I propose fixing lenny with the attached patch. --
