samba - Dec 1998 - Problem de mangling

Hi all !
     
     I'm new on this mailing list...
     
     We have just installed samba v1.9.18p4.
     But we have problems with mangling of file names.
     
     We would like to preserve the case of windows files > 8 char. when 
     copying files to the server. However, we want to keep 8.3 format files 
     in lower case.
     
     The question is : how to configure all the mangling parameters ?
     
     
     Example :
     file ThisIsAFile.Document becomes the same (>8.3 preserve case)
     file Document.doc becomes document.doc (8.3 = lower case)
     ...
     
     
     Thank you for helping us !

Do you speak about mangling (making "longfilename" to something like
"longfi~1")
or about case preservation?

For case preservation try the following:

	mangle case = no
	case sensitive = no
	preserve case = yes
	short preserve case = no
	default case = lower

This will give you

	short.nam	=> short.nam
	Short.Nam	=> short.name
	SHORT.NAM	=> short.nam
	longfilename	=> longfilename
	LongFileName	=> LongFileName
	LONGFILENAME	=> LONGFILENAME

Hasta la vista,
               Robert
