Samba error message

Samba error message leaves a lot to be desired.

I spent 2 hours tracking down the cause of:

$ smbclient //berbagi.3/berbagi
Password:
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.24]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

Turned out it was caused by a parent directory to the real path being not world-readable.
