Problems between a HP UX 11.31 Samba share and Windows 7...
Hi I have an issue with a client. He was able to use his mounted Samba share for a long time. However, a couple of days ago, he wasn't able to access all of his files all of a sudden. He still see's the share and majority of the files, but not some that he needs.
I checked with Secure CRT on my HPUX box and the files are there. I checked through the Command DOS prompt, and I can get to to the files. When I check through the Explorer, and try to see the files in the mounted directory, it doesn't see them.
The clients is a developer and his program uses the explorer to see it. They are .p files
Does anyone have any info on this.
User is a Samba share user and permissions on all these files are the same. We're using Samba 3.0.22...

I contacted HP Support on the issue and apparently there was a * file in the directory. I took it out and renamed it, and everything works fine now.
Apparently Windows 7 cannot handle wildcard characters in the directory structure!
