Ok, I am having a strange problem. Via my linux box I am sharing
several vfat partitions and removable media(zip drive). They all have
the same filename, case, etc. options but when the clients try to move
files with windows explorer to the zip disk the client machine
complains that the drive does not accept long filenames and asks for an
alternative. The odd thing is the drive shows long filenames and apps
like Word97 can save long filenames to the zip, although it makes them
all caps(how do I fix that?). Is this an explorer problem or a samba
problem. Everything works as expected to the fixed drives with no
complaints about filename lenght. My smb.conf is attached. I would
really appreciate some advice on this. I tried searching the archives
but didn't come up with anything useful.
Thanks,
