I've just back-ported the HEAD switchable mangling algorithm
code into the SAMBA_2_2 branch for the 2.2.5 release.
The default is to behave as you observed (common collisions).
This is for backwards compatibility.
To try out the new mangling algorithm (much better) CVS update
and add the line :
mangling method = hash2
to the [global] section of your smb.conf and restart smbd.
Thanks,
Jeremy.
