Hi All, I have received a cry for help from someone that has upgraded their system from OSX 10.2 to OSX 10.3. They use samba to serve an application that stores relative filepaths in an access db. Some of the the filepaths are stored in 8.3 format. A client running XP can access all the std filepaths, but is no longer able to access those stored in 8.3 format since upgrading to OSX 10.3. One thought came to mind that the default 8.3 mangling may have changed, however this should only represent a part of the 8.3 filepaths, not all of them. Is anyone aware of any devlopments in the samba chain at any point that has modified the way samba handles 8.3 filepath requests from 32 bit clients? Thanks for any suggestions. Lewis Shobbrook
