Just started with Samba a few weeks ago so am
still a newbie. Am serving a single W-95 client
reasonably well - it allows users to log on using
their unix id and passwd, and they can all browse
their unix home directories. However ....
I can't seem to get the "hide dotfiles" directive to work.
Nor the "hide files"!
Also, If a user on W-95 saves a file to unix called,
say, "Joe Smith.doc", I want it to stay as
"Joe Smith.doc" , not be saved as "joe smith.doc" .
(I assume there is nothing wrong with wanting this)
These do not stike me as a complicated directives -
what am I doing wrong?
Help!

Otherwise consider the "veto files" directive> Also, If a user on W-95 saves a file to unix called, > say, "Joe Smith.doc", I want it to stay as > "Joe Smith.doc" , not be saved as "joe smith.doc" . > (I assume there is nothing wrong with wanting this)You should add "preserve case = yes" to your configuration /NIels -- Niels Baggesen, UNI-C, Olof Palmes Alle 38, DK-8200 Aarhus N, Denmark Email: Niels.Baggesen@uni-c.dk Tel: +45 89 37 66 69 Fax: +45 89 37 66 77
