samba - May 1999 - Problem : same mangled name for different files

Hello samba-list-readers,

I have 2 files with long filenames on a samba-server (V2.04b). The filenames 
are 

xxxxx_APB.h and xxxxx_SEL.h

For some reason the first part of the name has to be xxxxx_

In the file-property-sheet of windows-explorer the MS-DOS-name of
BOTH files is XXXXX_~5X.H. That means to me, that the hash-algorithm,
which generates the MS-DOS-name is to weak and produced a name-conflict.

16-bit applications like DOS-edit and also a 'Send-To -> notepad.exe'
have
a problem and read the wrong file (do a 'Send-To -> notepad.exe' in 
explorer for both files and you always get the same file).

If I set 'mangled names = no' in smb.conf, then 'Send-To' is ok,
but then
there are no short MS-DOS-names for true DOS-applications.

Are there other smb.conf-parameters to enhance the hash-algorithm to
avoid the name-clash ?

A true Windows-NT-server doesn't have this problem.

Regards,
