EAs not correctly saved on Samba resource (version 3.0.26a)

[ggamba]

I'm using samba-3.0.26a-os2-20070921-v7a.wpi. In smb.conf I have

[R]

comment = Drive R: (JFS)
path = R:/[[BR]] read only = No
guest ok = Yes
hide files = /*. SF/root/

Other relevant lines are:

ea support = Yes
store dos attributes = Yes
hosts deny = ALL EXCEPT 192.168.1.

Extended Attributes are not correctly saved on the Samba resource. See the two screenshots for a sample: the right name for the EA created by Lucide should be "LUCIDE_THUMBNAIL". Another sample: "Comments" are saved like "<strangecharacter><strangecharacter><strangecharacter>.COMMENTS" instead than just ".COMMENTS". Content of the EA seems ok but, as the EA name is wrong, the WPS can't find it.

I can confirm this error. herwigb

The error happens also when client is the IBM Requester.

I have just noted that the 3 wrong characters prefixed to the EA name change any time.
