Hi, i'm having a little problem with samba (or Windows98 ?). The story : I'm using the program WHFC (Windows Hylafax Client) on a W2k and Win98-client. Samba 2.2.5 is running on Suse LINUX 7.1 Kernel 2.4.18. The WHFC-program uses a share on the LINUX-server (actually the share contains tif-images of received faxes). No problems with W2k, but with Win98. The WHFC-client shows the files correctly in downcases (ohhh, is this the right word ?), for instance : fax00004.tif. When running under W2k everything is okay, i can see the file and i can show it using an image-viewer called by WHFC with the command line "D:\Programme\Windows NT\Zubeh?r\ImageVue\kodakimg.exe w:\%s" . This is the same under W2k and Win98 . When running under Win98 the file is converted to uppercase (FAX00004.TIF) and it cannot be found by the image-viewer (which is correct as FAX00004.TIF doesn't exist). So what's happening ? The whole thing worked fine for about two years under W2k AND Win98. The only thing i changed was the samba-version, which was upgraded from 2.2.3a to 2.2.5. Is it a really problem of samba or of Win98 (maybe with some option in Win98) ? Has it to do with mangling ? I show you the parts of smb.conf which belong to the share : -------snipp------ [global] server string = Samba-PDC %v on %h workgroup = WORKGROUP encrypt passwords = yes netbios name = 486dx66 domain master = Yes local master = Yes prefered master = yes wins support = no wins proxy = no security = user os level = 255 domain logons = yes logon drive = v: logon path = \\%N\%u\ntprofile\%a logon home = \\%N\%u\.profiles logon script = logonsmb.bat add user script = /usr/local/sbin/mkuser %u user log level = 1 ldap server = xyz ldap suffix = "xyz" ldap admin dn = "xyz" ldap ssl = start_tls ldap port = 389 lock dir = /var/lock/samba kernel oplocks = no hide dot files = No map system = Yes read size = 65535 log file = /var/log/samba.log.%m lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p %u time server = Yes character set = ISO8859-1 max log size = 1000 browsable = yes map hidden = Yes dos filetime resolution = Yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY bind interfaces only = Yes strict locking = Yes map to guest = Bad User dos filetimes = Yes create mask = 0660 preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes case sensitive =yes hide unreadable = yes [fax] browsable = yes writable = yes comment = Eingangs-Fax-Queue path = /var/spool/fax/recvq public = yes -------snipp------ I would be happy if someone on the list could tell me what's going wrong. greets Harry

[Samba] Possibly problem with case of filenames ?
maybe you should look at the case sensitive option in [global]? -----Original Message----- From: Harry R?ter [mailto:harry_rueter@gmx.de] Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 9:44 AM To: Samba-List Subject: [Samba] Possibly problem with case of filenames ?
