I'm sorry, but I don't see a problem with these filenames on Samba: $ touch a.b. $ ls -l [...] -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna vinschen 0 2010-04-07 10:36 AB2F49~0 $ ls -l a.b. -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna vinschen 0 2010-04-07 10:36 a.b. $ rm a.b. $ touch "abc " $ ls -l [...] -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna vinschen 0 2010-04-07 10:40 AZIJUG~1 $ ls -l "abc " -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna vinschen 0 2010-04-07 10:40 abc $ rm "abc " I also tested cvs, and it didn't complain about filenames with a dot as the 9th char.
