[Samba] How to fetch Summary Information for a text document on win XP

[Veeral Shah]

Hello
I have been struggling past few days on how to fetch SummaryInformation
or DocumentSummaryInformation ADS stream attached with a text document on
windows XP. SummaryInformation and DocumentSummaryInformation streams keep
property data such as author, title, catagory and so on (edited through
property->summary menu on XP).

I am using Samba version 3.2.6 on a Linux box. cli_qpathinfo_streams() lets
me get list of all streams associated with the text file. I can get most ADS
streams as <file-name>:<stream-name> , using smbget but this request fails
for <filename>:\
005DocumentSummaryInformation with error NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID.

Below is the smbclient session output
smb: \> allinfo docu.txt
altname: docu.txt

Does anybody have knowledge on this issue? Your help will be much
appreciated

Thanks
