Hi Raimund, I guess you were the one to whom i was talking on IRC some days ago. I assured you to have a look at the source of VFS vfs_catia.c, because we were not able to get it working and it caught my inetrest, too. Also there is nearly NO info on the web about the usage of this re-written vfs module - the samba man page is useless (only old usage info) I now found the bug in vfs_catia.c and will push a fix soon. See http://pastie.org/6313997 how it is working. One can specify translations for all invalid windows characters \ / : * ? " < > | and even more ones. I hope this is the one you were looking for. :-) Cheers, Günter -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
