Dear list,
After having upgraded from Samba-2.2.8a to Samba-3.0.4 I have problems
getting "short preserve case = Yes" to work properly for filenames
having
only capital letters when seen from NT-4.0 explorer. A mixture of lettercase
filenames and all lowercase work fine. What I see is the following:
UNIX: Windows-NT:
-------- ------------------
ALLB != Allb
ALLB.DIR != Allb.dir
ALLB.TXT != Allb.txt
ALLBIGXX != Allbigxx
ALLBIGXX.DIR != Allbigxx.dir
ALLBIGXX.TXT != Allbigxx.txt
alls = alls
alls.dir = alls.dir
alls.txt = alls.txt
allsmall = allsmall
allsmall.dir = allsmall.dir
allsmall.txt = allsmall.txt
AlTbIgSm = AlTbIgSm
AlTbIgSm.DiR = AlTbIgSm.DiR
AlTbIgSm.TxT = AlTbIgSm.TxT
AlTbS.dIr = AlTbS.dIr
AlTbS.tXt = AlTbS.tXt
aLtSb.tXt = aLtSb.tXt
aLtSmBiG = aLtSmBiG
aLtSmBiG.dIr = aLtSmBiG.dIr
aLtSmBiG.tXt = aLtSmBiG.tXt
ONESMALl = ONESMALl
ONESMALL.TXt = ONESMALL.TXt
oNESMALL.DIR = oNESMALL.DIR
TBt.tXT = TBt.tXT
TWobYTwo = TWobYTwo
TWobYTwo.DIr = TWobYTwo.DIr
TWobYTwo.TXt = TWobYTwo.TXt
Explorer on windows-XP and windows-2000 seems to show the filenames
correctly !
Also if I do a "DIR" command in a command window on windows-NT4.0 the
filenames
are shown correctly !
Explorer on windows-NT4.0 showns correct filenames on Samba-2.2.8a.
The relevant Samba configuration options are:
display charset = LOCALE
dos charset = CP850
unix charset = ISO-8859-1
mangle case = Yes
preserve case = Yes
short preserve case = Yes
I have tried the following options as well, but getting the same results:
# unix charset = UTF-8
# unix charset = LOCALE
# unix charset = ASCII
Samba has been configured like this: ./configure -with-acl-support
-with-libiconv
and it is built and running on a Solaris-8 box.
I have the following 2 lines at the top in the startup script:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libiconv_plug.so
export LD_PRELOAD
QUESTIONS:
1. Have any of you seen similar behaviour ?
2. Is it a bug in Samba or libiconv ?
3. or is it windows-NT4.0 explorer that fails to communicate with
Samba-3.0.4 properly ?
4. any work-arounds ?
Any help would be appreciated - thanks in advance.
Cheers, Hans.
