Sorry but I've missed something somewhere... HPUX 10.01 , NIS Samba 1.9.18p2 win 3.51 ws client service pack 5 A users is trying to map a home share with directories "Mail" and "mail" and see both as the individual directories that they are. I've tried the name mangling options in smb.conf with no luck what-so-ever. Debug=3 shows (./Mail) and [Mail] as the directory no matter which one you cd to. Which combination of options will allow different cased directories to show up (or is NT the one doing the blocking)? ie. NT will not allow you to create Mail if mail exists. Many TIA (and sorry for such a pathetic question) [global] printing = hpux printcap name = /usr/local/samba/lib/printcap load printers = no guest account = nobody security = user debug level = 2 log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m homedir map = auto_home nis homedir = true [jimb] comment = jimbs stuff (test share) path = /export/home/jbramlet/test writable = yes browseable = yes # mangle case = no # case sensitive = yes # default case = lower # preserve case = yes # short preserve case = yes # hide dot files = no # mangled names = yes
