you can change "mangle prefix" to specify the number of characters you want to stay the same. Just remember the more letters that remain the same the more likely you will get a collision and slow things down.

Is there another way to make shares readable to 16 bit apps that use the 8.3 filename. because with out specifying "mangling method = hash" the file names are completly mangled and only the first letter remains the same. Where as "mangling method = hash" only mangles the last 3 letters.

Hi Jeremy,
Sorry for not replying sooner, ive attached my config file.
as a quick test,
I created a folder called : "Test Directory That Is Long" under which i created a folder called "This folder is long too" and a file called "This Folder is long.txt"
and this gives me the string errors.
Thanks.

Just Installed 3.0.5rc1 and the problem persists unfortunately,
Ok, can you give me the smb.conf file and the directory and filenames you're using. I'll see if I can reproduce with the latest SVN code.
Thanks,
Jeremy.
