Hello!

We probably have a Samba related Windows XP problem:
When I start the cmd.exe shell, enter a samba share and call "dir" I can see (for example):
a.java, b.java and c.JAVA
But if I call "dir *.java", only c.JAVA is reported.

A ethereal trace shows that Windows XP is sending "Search Pattern: \server\path\<.JAVA". That means that all letters have changed to upper case. The case-sensitive Samba server seems to answer correctly to this wrong search pattern. However, if I call "dir a.java", the case is not changed and the file is shown properly. So Win XP (or cmd.exe) seems to change the case to uppercase if a wildcard is found

We can't change our Samba server to work "case insensitive". Is there any other way to handle or change this misbehavior?

Thanks,
Alexander Geraldy
