Re: QNTC to access Windows file server

My biggest issue with QNTC going to Windows servers was that someone would
create a share on the Windows server which exceeded a set number of
characters (I think anything over 11 is an issue). Even if I was not
using that share but I was using another share simply the existence of
that share was an issue.
Found it, it's 12 characters.
<snip>
Ensure that all Windows based shares are 12 characters or less in length.
This is a permanent restriction as it causes the Windows server to return
a 3406 error code from the SMB transaction.

This is dated information and I've asked for it to be updated.

Since IBM's website is currently undergoing a massive failure I can't
search cover letters or anything.
