Any help would be greatly appreciated...

We run SAMBA on a Unix box with case sensitive file naming (i.e. standard

Unix usage).

Relevant entries in smb.conf

case sensitive = yes

mangled map = (*.html *.htm)

Using NT4 clients no problems are experienced in accessing files and

navigating directories. Have a (small) client base using Win98SE which can

map top level folders on the Samba server but cannot navigate. Problem is

identified as Win98 sending filenames in upper case to Samba server which

searches case sensitive and returns "not found". NT4 preserves case.

Does anyone know of registry key to add/modify to cause Win98 to preserve

case when using SMB? Win98 displays correct case when the initial mapping is

done but requests for navigation (and/or properties) are incorrectly

formatted.

I have another (undesirable) fix available, which is to set the Samba server

to be case insensitive but this leaves a gaping hole whereby two files

differing only in case could be incorrectly retrieved (or worse the

incorrect one overwritten). Any other suggestions as alternative to the two

former??
