About UntzUntz LAN Scan
You may be asking youself - what is UntzUntz LAN Scan...well...
The UntzUntz LAN Scan searches your local SAMBA
/Windows for files with
such speed and accuracy that even your right hand will
appreciate. Included is an advanced CGI program that enables users on your network
to run searches against the database.
You may now be asking yourself - why?
Good question, recently I setup a network with about 35 clients on it.
Each client shared a lot of files. Finding the file you needed on the
network of over 100,000 files was a pain...so I wrote this.

I released a bug fix version today. The file processor was dropping files from
december assuming they were directories. This is now fixed. I made a few small
changes to the cgi part of the program. A thanks goes out to Mattias Andersson
for noticing some of his files weren't showing up in the search results - which
led to this bug fix. Let me know if there are any other problems!

There have been a few bug fixes. You should upgrade to version
1.3c if you are
having problems. Fixed for this release are: there was a seg. fault if there is
white space at the end of the configuration file - this is now fixed. There was
also a problem with files that are Hidden, System, Readonly, and Archive
attributed. This was found because Windows XP seems to put a thumbnail.db file
with these attributes in directories with graphics in them. I don't have XP - so
I didn't know, and I also didn't have any files that fit that desc.
You would see this behaviour if the cgi program get hung up.

I've been working at adding some new features. I've finished the search results
templates coding and I am now testing this feature. It should allow for any
level of customization. The next release will include this function and the
ability to specify certain shares to scan (in case they are not being found by
smbclient).

A problem was still found with longer share names. It seems 'smbclient' cuts
share names after 13 characters. So, if you are seeing that a share is being cut
simply rename the share to something shorter. The longer share name also was
causing a problem with Version 1.2b. This is fixed in Version 1.2c.

I've redesigned the website ... do you like? Lots of new features and bug changes
today. See the change log for more information. Currently we're up to
version 1.2b.
Future plans are to enable the administrative to specify a 'header' and 'footer', as
well as a template for search results. This will give each installation a custom
look and feel - and it will be able to be incorporated into any site.
Don't forget to let me know if you have any problems or thing you've found a bug.
You can either email me
or simply add it to the
SourceForge bug tracker. There is
also a section on SourceForge for
feature requests.
