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
