I recently switched to using Samba as our PDC and for our file sharing where I work. This includes a share which we moved from a Windows server for an ERP system that does not handle long file names, and has the names written into data fields the way Windows hashes them. I realize the advantages to the way Samba does the hash, but I was wondering what it would take to make this fully compatible. For instance, can you point me in the correct direction to modify the Samba 2.2 code so it mangles names the same way as Windows would? We are also pursuing the makers of the software to see if they can leap into this century and support long file names.
