Hi, We've got a lot of Mac users here who are used to creating directories/files with special characters in them that are disallowed in Windows, like: \/:*?"<>| On a Samba or Native Windows share, these are disallowed, but are allowed on the Solaris CIFS shares. However, once they are created, only a Mac can access them. In the following, I've used the word specialChars as the special characters won't display correctly On Samba, I get a message like: smb: \tmp\> mkdir specialChars NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID making remote directory \tmp\ specialChars
On Solaris server, it creates the directory: smb: \> mkdir specialChars smb: \> ls . DA 0 Mon Sep 14 16:27:18 2009 .. DA 0 Mon Sep 14 16:27:18 2009 specialChars D 0 Mon Sep 14 16:27:18 2009 But then I can't use it anyway: smb: \> cd specialChars smb: \<specialchars>\> mkdir aaa smb: \<specialchars>\> ls NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND listing \specialChars\* Is there a way to disable using these characters? PS: I think this product is great!! Regards John Ryan -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
