Hi all. I'm in the same boat as this http://groups.google.com/group/linux.samba/browse_thread/thread/b7ca67f0 bfe9a201/8c0b8b75e44eae61?lnk=st&q=mangling&rnum=11#8c0b8b75e44eae61, but setting mangling method = hash, had no effect, altough i've havent't restart samba yet, just reload and killed the daemon associated with my client computer. Is this going to provde me with the "longfilename" to "longfil~1" mangling result? TIA. Bruno Guerreiro
