samba - Jul 2002 - strange samba problem

Hi all
I justed noticed, a user is is not able to see all the folders on windows.
User is mapping to her unix home drive from pc via samba

If i move the file and change its name, i can see it on explorer on pc
but there is no one to one mapping 

any help is appreciated

thanks

thanks but in this case its not case sensitive

ex:
rje is her folder with 755 on unix home
she cant see it on windows

when i rename it like rjeorg, then i can see the folder

like this there are some folder and some files ( not all in unix home though
)

I wonder why its showing up when i move them to different name

also i renamed rjeorg back to rje, it showup in exlorer

therere are lot of users unix home drive access used by samba, this is not
happening to everybody


thanks in advance

Windows is case-insensitive.  Check to make sure she does not have
something like 'doc' and 'Doc' as different directories or files
inn her
home dir.

Also, Windows hides some files with certain extensions.  Check to make
sure she is set to see all files.

No rje is a folder in users unix home direcotry

/home/samantha
under this rje is folder

You mention that you are changing the home directory name. I am assuming 
something like the following:

mv /home/rje /home/rjeorg

If this is correct, then the problem could be simple. If you simply 
change the home directory name, without updating the /etc/passwd file, 
then unix (and samba for home directory mapping) are not going to be 
able to display the directory, because to them it does not exist.
