All, I have searched in vain for the answer to this so I hope someone can help me. I am running Samba 3.0.21a on an NSLU2 host. The host disk has an ext3 filesystem exporting to Windows XP as a network share. When I view the contents of a directory, I see files and directories listed in alphabetical order (i.e. files mixed with directories) when I use the network share. I would really like to have the share list all directories (in alpha order) followed by all files (in order) as per standard Windows XP folder listings. I have tried to adjust this using the Windows XP folder settings but it has had no effect so I must conclude it could be controlled from the smbd program. Does anyone how I could make listings appear as I wish? My smb.conf is below...
