I'm busy setting up an NT based (v4.0.1381) MKS Source Integrity client
(v7.3c) to Unix (AIX v4.2.1) server and case sensitivity is a problem. I've
resolved all issues to date that are NT and Samba related, with one exception.
If I have a filename in Unix such as DAVID.DAT, NT's common dialog boxes
insist on presenting me with the name David.dat. When I try and open the file by
pointing and clicking (eg as part of an application) it tells me it cannot find
the file, but when I type DAVID.DAT at the CDB filename prompt it works fine.
Having said that it all works fine (sometimes) from Windows Explorer - if I
double click on David.dat it opens it OK, but if I try and rename it, it says
that it can't find the file!!
The question is, can this filename "beautifying" (for want of a
better word) be turned off in NT? Or, is there another work-around that I
can't see?
BTW smb.conf settings are:
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes
default case = upper
case sensitive = yes
mangled case = yes
