I have to solve the following: I have a small network with three windows 98 clients and a linux/samba 2.0.7-server to log on. One windows machine is also used with linux, a few folders on a FAT 16 partition should be shared all the time regardless of the OS running. Under linux, the partition is mounted through fstab and shared with samba. However, other machines get dos-stylish short filen~1 only. Any solutions? Thanks in advance. Dieter

If you want long filename support you need to mount it as vfat -- not msdos. Lynn Danielson
This must be it! Thanks a lot!

Hi Long filenames was introduced with the LM1.2X002 (LANMAN2) dialect, as the CIFS/1.0 document says. And I read somewhere (smb.conf configuration) that the samba LANMAN1 dialect supports long filenames, how can that be ????
