Strange problem with samba share, maybe dns related
Hello,
today I realized a strange bug (maybe there is a reason for it but I
dont know):
All our employees have a directory/folder at our (wheezy-lts) server,
which is for interchange. Everybody gets a folder with his name where
anybody can put things in. It is connected to Windows Clients by the
letter "Z:\". I generated a huge sum of pdfs which I want to share at
the server. As I looked for them from a windows-client, I could hardly
see anything in this folder despite I know that there are many folders
with pdfs in its subdirectories. They are all recursive chmodded 777 and
owner is me as samba user (me:me). Now there are people able to see,
browse and use this documents, but not me as a windows user.
The strangest thing: If I take the IP instead of the NAME of the server
- it works!
How is it possible, that a folder called via name is empty and via ip it
is not?
Z:\pdf -> empty folder
\\SERVER\fileserver\Mitarbeiter\me\pdf\ -> empty folder
\\192.168.178.123\\fileserver\Mitarbeiter\me\pdf\ -> 2308 Elements
ls -l gives drwxrwxrwx per subfolder and owner is me:me
Is this a DNS-based problem or whats going on here?
I cant explain it, please help!
Greetings
Cyril
