smbmount 2.06 problem with uppercase conversion.
Hello, I'm using samba 2.06 and smbmount 2.06, though this problem was consistent on my 2.05 installation of samba on my slackware 7.0 machine. I've got a slackware cd-rom, which I've loaded in to a 98 machine and shared it as cdrom. I've then gone to my linux system, which does not have a rom and done: smbmount //host/cdrom /cdrom which after a minute of spin up time finds and mounts the rom. However, all the files, particularly the package files are in uppercase, and since they are, slackware refuses to recognize them as valid packages. I've got the short preserve case and preserve case options both set to no in my smb.conf file. Now here's the interesting part, if I share a directory on my linux machine, called pub, then using copy and paste from 98 cdrom to network neighborhood to the pub share the files transfer fine, the problem is I don't have the space to transfer all of them and do the install. Help appreciated. Thanks. Dave. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!
