Hi I am having problems with naming share ( case ) the unix side share name is /opt/template and there is another share on unix side /opt/Template how would i configure samba to make sure it see "template" and "Template" differently right now whenever i map from windows( as template or Template ) it goes to /opt/template only. i tried following options [Template] path = /opt/Template case sensitive = yes short preserve case = yes preserver case = yes [template] path = /opt/template case sensitive = yes short preserve case = yes preserver case = yes thanks in advance
Well, Javid, AFAIK, you CAN't. all the case options with samba deal with FILE and DIRECTORY names IN a share. The sharename itself is NOT case sensitive. In fact, if you look at a wire trace, you will see that the sharename is sent all in upper case (despite what your explorer window shows you...)
