If you don't like it, talk to Microsoft. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Benjamin Scott <bscott@hamptonsys.com> Phone: (603)431-7315 Hampton Systems Group, Inc.

Dear List, Thanx for the answers, but I mixed the directions :-( In run smaba on two SUN Solaris 2.5.1. If I create a file under NT with the name AAA.DOC it become aaa.doc, but if I create a file AABBCCDDEEFFGG.DOC it does not change. On the other samba machnine the AABBCCDDEEFFGG.DOC become aabbccddeeffgg.doc. Why? Can somebody help me what should I set? TIA && good byte!
