Hi. I'm new to Samba, and I'm writing with a couple of questions regarding filenames. I'm using the 17-AUG-2005 build of 2.2.8 from Jean-Yves Collot's Web page on a OpenVMS Alpha 7.3-2 system that uses ODS-2. I'm using the VMS system as a Samba server. The Windows clients use Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server.
To the Windows clients, the names of all files stored in the Samba shares appear as lower-case filenames, and this is what I'm trying to change. For example, if someone executes a DIR command from a Command Prompt window, the filenames appear in lower case. The lower-case names are causing problems for a Windows application that expects to see the filenames in upper case. (FWIW, the filenames may be longer than 8.3). I read the "Name Mangling and Case" section of the "Using Samba" book, and I tried assigning various values to the configuration parameters "case sensitive", "default case", "preserve case", and "mangle case" in SMB.CONF, but every attempt was unsuccessful. The filenames always appeared in lower case on the Windows client. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Is there a combination of Samba 2.2 configuration parameters that can force the filenames to appear in upper case when viewed by the Windows client PCs? - Duane Sadowski __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
