(Common, though.) I know nearly nothing about this stuff, but I'd guess that if you created the files with "Record format: Stream" (where CR-LF line endings are used), or if you used CONVERT /FDL to convert existing files, you might get better results. $ convert in_file out_file /fdl = sys$input: RECORD FORMAT stream $ > Do I have to change these attributes or is there anything to do in the > SMB.CONF file? As a test, I'd try changing the attributes on a file first. I don't know; There may be some configuration setting which causes Samba to convert the format on-the-fly. Someone with actual knowledge may have better suggestions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
