Hi Erwin, i tried the -f option, but it doesn't help. dos2unix doesn't complain about the filetype anymore, but it still fails to convert the text file.
debian6.0:~# dos2unix -f /mnt/temp/win2k3-share/test2k3.txt dos2unix: converting file /mnt/temp/win2k3-share/test2k3.txt to UNIX format ... dos2unix: problems converting file /mnt/temp/win2k3-share/test2k3.txt And i had no luck with the latest version of the tools. debian6.0:~# /root/bin/dos2unix -V dos2unix 5.2.1-beta2 (2011-02-22) With native language support.

I use the tools in some shell scripts and i never had problems in the past until i updated two servers to debian 6.0. As a workaround i will modify my scripts to move the files to a local path temporarily, convert them and move them back to the windows file shares.
