You can make a share case sensitive, but this is not recommended. (by default, Samba is Case preserving, hence if you name Giggle first it's ok, but not case sensitive) There was a document mailed to the list about a month ago that explained all the weird and wanky ways Windows NT mangles Case, and the pitfalls you can run into if you make Samba case sensitive.

I am running HP-UX 11.00. I have created shares for NT. I am having a problem with file names that are previously entered as lowercase will not allow us to change the name to capital. For example: If I add a file to my share \\blue\smith called "giggle" then decide later to change it to "GiggLe" the file will automatically be renamed to "giggle" instead. Now any one that tries to name thier file with capital letter will not be able to do so. The will have to manually go into the unix server and change the name. Is there some type of cache that is causing names to be changed. This does not happen if I name the file "Giggle" from the beginning. We have a lot of users that use the same file names, and once one person makes a mistake on thier share, no else can change the file name. ********************************************************************** Please be aware that, notwithstanding the fact that the person sending this communication has an address in Bear Stearns' e-mail system, this person is not an employee, agent or representative of Bear Stearns.

file name changed from uppercase to lowercase
I am running HP-UX 11.00. I have created shares for NT. I am having a problem with file names that are previously entered as lowercase will not allow us to change the name to capital. For example: If I add a file to my share \\blue\smith called "giggle" then decide later to change it to "GiggLe" the file will automatically be renamed to "giggle" instead. Now any one that tries to name thier file with capital letter will not be able to do so. The will have to manually go into the unix server and change the name. Is there some type of cache that is causing names to be changed. This does not happen if I name the file "Giggle" from the beginning. We have a lot of users that use the same file names, and once one person makes a mistake on their share, no else can change the file name.

file name changed from uppercase to lowercase
Hello Christshonda, What you need is the following lines in your smb.conf global section: preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes These two parameters will force samba to save filenames (both 8.3, ie 'short' and long filenames) in the case in which the client sends the request. Hope this helps, Don -----Original Message----- From: Campbell, Christshonda (Exchange) [mailto:christshonda.campbell@bear.com] Sent: Friday, April 27, 2001 12:28 PM To: 'samba@samba.org' Subject: file name changed from uppercase to lowercase I am running HP-UX 11.00.
