Subject: konqueror SMB support problems
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kfm-devel&m=96866146103733

Hi there,

I've been checking the smb support in a recent konqueror build, and there are 
still a few problems with the libsmb++ library that's being used.

I've had some contact with Brodu (writer of libsmb++) about those problems, 
but he hasn't got a proper internet connection at the moment, so I'm turning 
to this mailinglist (I hope it's the place for this email). I was wondering, 
who in the kde team takes care of the smb implementation used by konqueror ?


The problems I've encountered are :

- Listing NT5/WIN2K systems return dir- and filelistings in 8.3 format (no 
long filenames)
- Trying to enter directories that contain a "&" in its name results in a dir 
not found

I'm sorry if this has already been reported, I've been checking bug reports 
and looking for a smb specific bugreport list... But didn't find the isues 
noted above.

Greetz,

Jelmer Feenstra
