samba - Nov 2003 - upgrade 2.2.8a -> 3.0 Debian DOS long filename problem

Hi,

I tried to upgrade from Samba 2.2.8a to 3.0.

It worked generally speaking fine and speed went up tremendously,

BUT

since then the DOS conversion of long file names is freaking me out.

Using long file names produced a readable short version plus ~1 oder ~x. 
where x stands for a number.

now long file names produce some cryptic 8 letter name plus extension. 
listing in a DOS box additionally shows the correct long name in the far 
right column, but DOS programs like word6 just get the cryptic name.

Is this a result of new Samba 3.0 or Win98? Is it fixable or do I have 
to live with that?

thanks

daniel

try:

        dos charset = CP850
        unix charset = ISO8859-1

this solved my problem.

See 'mangling method' in smb.conf(5).  The default in 3.0 was
changed from hash to hash2.
