samba - Jan 2011 - Mapping characters for non-DOS names under UNIX

Hi All,

As known, samba can mapping non-DOS names under UNIX to DOS-compatible names
by using some HASH/HASH2 algorithm. But is there any way we can define a
character mapping tables by self, not using HASH? such as: (just a sample)

character mapping table:
Unix        Windows
"     <------->    a
*     <------->    b
/     <------->    c
:     <------->    d
<    <------->    e
>    <------->    f
?    <------->    g
\    <-------->    h
|    <-------->    i

then a filename '***' on Unix will be mapped to 'bbb' on
Windows... and so
on.

Thanks a lot.

Create your custom vfs module.
Perhaps vfs_cap.c shows you how to do this.

Also to create a custom charset module may offer another way.

So what would bbb map to?  If both exist on unix, how would windows tell
you which of *** and bbb to open?
