Hi. I am using an NT4 box that links to a Sun UNIX server via Samba 1.9.18p4(Win NT4.2 Server). When I pass a file called "My Part.dwg" to a unix disc ir becomes "my part.dwg". Is there a simple switch in Samba that will allow case to be preserved? Are there any drawbacks to preserving case across to the server?

Hello In samba 2.0.* this problem is solved, i think. In this smb.conf you has and entry "case sensitive = yes" where you can activate the correct naming of new files.

See the 'preserve case' option in the smb.conf(5) man page Cheers, jerry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- /\ Gerald (Jerry) Carter Professional Services \/ http://www.valinux.com/ VA Linux Systems gcarter@valinux.com http://www.samba.org/ SAMBA Team jerry@samba.org http://www.plainjoe.org/ jerry@plainjoe.org "...a hundred billion castaways looking for a home." - Sting "Message in a Bottle" ( 1979 )
