I know, I added that warning. |

I've got samba 3.0.28 and util-linux 2.13-r2, and forward |
| 42 |
slashes don't work for me. I pasted in the command from the |
| 43 |
wiki page almost exactly as shown (changed the hostname and |
| 44 |
sharename), and it didn't work. I also found a number of reports |
| 45 |
of the exact same problem in various other places (Ubunto |
| 46 |
forums for example). Perhaps I should edit the warning on the |
| 47 |
wiki page to say that sometimes backslashes work, and sometimes |
| 48 |
they don't. |
