They've been optional in Samba3 for a while (via the "mangled names"
boolean option). Unfortunately disabling them is really just a
benchmark hack for now, as the few users of them are quite
important. Making cmd.exe not work on a WinXP client would be a pretty
serious functionality loss :-)
At Microsoft Tech-Ed 2004 they recommended "disabling 8.3 name creation"
for NTFS file server performance. I was quite surprised.
