Hi,
Thank you for the quick response. Here are more details:
Linux 2.6.20.11 64-bit SMP kernel-based Xeon server running Samba 3.0.27
Shares created on the Linux server using Samba to export to Windows
clients
On the Windows client, access the Samba share.
Create directories called "TEST", "test", "TesT" all in the same
directory on the Samba share. It is permitted. I do not get any
notification from Windows that the directory name already exists. The
new directories get created successfully. I can provide a screenshot if
needed.
If I try to do this on a local Windows hard drive (C:), it of course
will warn me about the directory name already existing.
Thank you in advance for your help!
-Thomas

Subject: Re: [Samba] Samba shares are case-sensitive in Windows = bad
I am a Samba newbie using 3.0.27 and noticed that Samba allows me to
create directories in Samba shares on Windows that have the same
name,
but different case. For example, "TEST", "tEsT", "test", and "TESt"
are all permitted directory names in the same path (root directory of
the Samba share). This seems like a bad thing since Windows itself
does not allow this with local hard drives.
Linux will allow you to add directories in this way, but not Samba. If
you try to create a directory as stated above using Samba, you will get
an error from the windows OS that tells you that a directory with that
name already exists. What exactly is being done to create the
directories?
