Hello, I'm using samba 3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1 on a linux system and accessing the shares on a windows 2k client. To me it looks like file names are not sorted when accessing them via samba shares, but it's works on samba 3.0.24 If i do a dir c: for instance filenames are sorted, but if I do the same on a samba share using a Visula Basic 6 program they are not sorted. This causes some problems for me and I'd like to know if there is a way to make either windows sort them on its own (not in the explorer, but for every programm accessing these shares! ) or make samba sort them before sending them to the windows machine. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- -- Best Regards Francesco Alfano System Engineer Phone: +39 (091) 409092 Fax: +39 (091) 6766932 e-mail: ced at reroberto.it e-mail: edacedpa at yahoo.it
