About FileNameInfo in LanMan redirector

NTFSD
1

Hello.
I think this question appeared before in this forum but …
anyone knows why calling IRP_MJ_QUERY_INFORMATION with
FileNameInformation class targetted to LanMan redirector gives
a path like this one:

;J:0\ZZSERVER\MYSHARE\myfile.dat

I mean, why I get ;J:0\ where I should have \J:\ ???

Thanks.
Inaki.

that’s the way it is! this is observed only in w2k and not in nt4. Not only
lanman, any third party network redirector or its provider DLL, can choose
its own way of creating a symbolic link for drive letters, as long as it can
deal correctly with the FOBJECT->Filename data during IRP_MJ_CREATE
handling, which can be something like ;J:0\ZZSERVER\MYSHARE\myfile.dat ,

This number is a new feature in Windows 2000 that you need to handle.
Just for your information, the number represents the terminal server
session ID number.

So, that means I could filter requests in a session basis !? Interesting.

Thanks. This number was a mistery to me.

Inaki.
