[Samba] Problem with MacOSX and filenames ending in white space
Hi, I have an OSX Client to a Linux Samba server (samba-3.0.23c-4 on CentOS4) When the client saves a filename that ends in one or more white spaces, OSX create also files starting with a dot. The filenames are correct in Linux but the OSX client see only garbage as the filename. I think is a problem with the .DS_Store file created by OSX. If you delete the whitespace of the filename in OSX and then copy the file, the problem is gone. Is this a know issue between OSX and Samba, or is a problem with OSX and any Windows server?
