[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#357226: xffm4: "undefined error" -- SMB Network lookup fails if server name includes a space.

[A. Costa]

Package: xffm4
Version: 4.2.3-1
Severity: normal


'konqueror' can access the shares of a Win98 box on my network, but
'xffm' fails at it.  Details...

In 'xffm' I click the "SMB Network" virtual folder. Beneath it a
"WORKGROUP" folder appears.  Click that, beneath that a "THE"
folder appears.  Click that, 'xffm' chugs a little, then
displays "undefined error".

The diagnostics pane shows:

    Looking for master browsers...
    XFSAMBA> nmblookup -M -- -
    querying __MSBROWSE__ on 192.168.1.255
    192.168.1.73 __MSBROWSE__<01>
    XFSAMBA> nmblookup -A 192.168.1.73
    Looking up status of 192.168.1.73
        THE SOURCE      <00> -         B <ACTIVE> 
        WORKGROUP       <00> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE> 
        { stuff deleted }

    XFSAMBA> smbclient -N -L //THE

It seems as though 'smbclient' is using its '-L' switch (list services)
to see what "THE SOURCE" has, but somehow the second word is cut off.
Since there's no server named "THE", it fails.

Note that from the command line:

    % smbclient -N -L "//THE SOURCE"

...works correctly.

I'm wondering if some servername variable needs to include
quotation marks as to preserve that middle space.  

Either that, or the name parsing code uses spaces as delimiters, instead of
something like:

    # grab the first server name, labeled "<00>"
    % servername="`nmblookup -A 192.168.1.73 | grep "<00> -         B <ACTIVE>" | sed -e 's/^\t*//' -e 's/ *<00.*$//'`"
    % echo "$servername"
    THE SOURCE

Hope this helps...
