Comment 4 for bug 292130

OK I'll try.
1 Samba Client
Yes it used to work on the version in Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon sorry can't find the exact version but the bug exists since upgrading to Hardy Heron.
Output of dpkg-query -W -f='${Package} ${Version} ${Source} ${Status}\n' | grep samba is:

alistair@ubuntu:~$ dpkg-query -W -f='${Package} ${Version} ${Source} ${Status}\n' | grep samba
libpam-smbpass 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.4 samba install ok installed
libsmbclient 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.4 samba install ok installed
libwbclient0 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.4 samba install ok installed
samba 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.4 install ok installed
samba-common 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.4 samba install ok installed
smbclient 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.4 samba install ok installed
system-config-samba 1.2.63-0ubuntu4 install ok installed

File accessed from Nautilus

From the command line I get:

alistair@ubuntu:~$ smbclient //riscpc/myriscpc
Enter alistair's password:
Domain=[LOCALGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.2-19990209]
Server requested plaintext password but 'client plaintext auth' is disabled
tree connect failed: SUCCESS - 0
alistair@ubuntu:~$

Not sure if I input the correct command above;-)

The remote machine is a Risc PC running RiscOS 4.02 the Samba Server is:
Samba Server for RISCOS "SmbServer Version 0.08 August 21 2005
This is the laest version as far as I know.

I attach a file used for testing which shows what is happening to the file. The original file was a text file containing the text "Testing Copy" (without the quotes).
Both the original file on the Risc PC and the copied file on Ubuntu are being written to ad-infinitum with the code shown in the file. Has to be stopped manually or will fill up the hard drive!

I hope this helps.
