Hallo, I have samba 3.04 on Solaris 9 platform with smb.conf use client driver = No default devmode = No default case = lower case sensitive = No preserve case = Yes short preserve case = No mangle case = No mangling char = ~ hide dot files = Yes hide special files = No hide unreadable = No hide unwriteable files = No delete veto files = No If I create 8.3 file in any Share on the root level (like H:\SOMETH.TXT) the system changes it to lower characters - correct behaviour, If I create same file on sub levels (like h:\TEST\SOMETH.TXT ) it's left in upper case characters. It's correct : [2004/06/17 11:37:40, 3] smbd/reply.c:reply_mv(3943) reply_mv : Neu Textdatei.txt -> ABCDEF.TXT [2004/06/17 11:37:40, 5] smbd/filename.c:unix_convert(114) unix_convert called on file "Neu Textdatei.txt" [2004/06/17 11:37:40, 5] smbd/filename.c:unix_convert(114) unix_convert called on file "ABCDEF.TXT" [2004/06/17 11:37:40, 5] smbd/filename.c:unix_convert(177) unix_convert begin: name = abcdef.txt, dirpath = , start = abcdef.txt [2004/06/17 11:37:40, 5] smbd/filename.c:unix_convert(312) New file abcdef.txt [2004/06/17 11:37:40, 3] smbd/reply.c:rename_internals(3693) rename_internals: case_sensitive = 0, case_preserve = 1, short case preserve 0, directory = ./Neu Textdatei.txt, newname = ./abcdef.txt, last_component_dest = abcdef.txt, is_8_3 = 0 [2004/06/17 11:37:40, 3] smbd/process.c:switch_message(685) switch message SMBmv (pid 732) [2004/06/17 11:37:40, 4] smbd/uid.c:change_to_user(186) change_to_user: Skipping user change - already user [2004/06/17 11:37:40, 3] smbd/reply.c:reply_mv(3943) reply_mv : Neu Textdatei.txt -> ABCDEF.TXT [2004/06/17 11:37:40, 5] smbd/filename.c:unix_convert(114) unix_convert called on file "Neu Textdatei.txt" [2004/06/17 11:37:40, 5] smbd/filename.c:unix_convert(114) unix_convert called on file "ABCDEF.TXT" It seems, that samba tried to take completely pfad enstead of taking only filename...
