I have found that Samba does not seem to handle the ^M EOL character very well. This seems to be a big problem with Windows Notepad and then in vi for UNIX. Other than the ux2dos and dos2ux commands does anyone know of another solution or if this has been fixed in a more current release of Samba? Thanks!

I am sure someone must have come across this. Is it possible to force files to binary when copying to Unix directories. NT -> Unix. Text Files have got ^M in them. How do we prevent this happening. Would forcing to binary fix the problem & if so how would this be done? Thanks Ajmal Ajmal Rafique eCommerce +44(0)1384 445564 (Telephone) +44(0)1384 446838 (Fax)

One option would be not to use notepad ;-} There are much better alternatives: Get PFE and set unix mode when you save the file (or you could use ntemacs or gvim for win32 - al...

...use crlf as a ascii line terminator. Unix uses a lf only. So when you view the files with a pc editor, the cr is taken as part of the line terminator, and doesn't show up. To a Unix editor, the cr is just another piece of data, and shows up as such. There are utilities on many unix systems (dos2ux, ux2dos) to translate between these two text types, but samba does nothing in this regard.

It's much easier than that. The linux box keeps time in GMT, and displays it in the configured time zone. Try this, on the linux box: "touch testfile ls -l testfile TZ=EST5 export TZ ls -l testfile" You will see the displayed time change, because it's being translated from epoch time (that's what I call it, anyway) - seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970.
