We are currently using Samba V. 3.0.21b. My question is that we are running samba on our UNIX server (Solaris 9) where we have directories that look similar to the following: A.L. E.A. T.A. You can either view the directories as they are suppose to appear, except the users can't access the data. OR The directories appear as mangled names but the users have no idea which directory they should be in. The only other work around that we have found is to create symbolic links for all of the directories, so the above has a link to AL and then the users can see their directories and view the data. Is there a better way to do this? Thank You! Connie Gomez
