samba - Aug 2005 - Dos Filenames in samba 3.0.14a

Hi "the list"

Have an odd one, Dos filenames / 16 bit applications;

In dos filenames longer that 8 chars would be something like

Myexam~1.doc (myexample.doc) but under samba its appearing as something very
weird! Consequently it breaks any links/references to it :/

Also we run studyscan which is a 16 bit application (32bit soon hopefully)
again all the links are messed up.

How can I turn it back to the old way?

Cheers

Ross

Set "mangling method = hash" in the [global] section of smb.conf.
