There's no guarentee that what is in the tree right now will look anything like the DFS code in the tree by the end of the weekend (if my tests go well). I'll let you know when it's stabilized enough to pull a fix.

Is it correct that the fix will be in 3.0.25 but not in 3.0.24? So, if I want to correct the problem now, I would need to compile samba from source with the patched msdfs.c ?

Erm, why would it be a "fluke"? You can do this on local filesystems (as far back as Windows 95, at least), and you can do this on shares exposed by Windows servers. Only when talking to a (recent) Samba server does it fail to rename the file. (How I noticed this problem: I have an rsync-like program that mirrors the contents of a local directory to a remote system. One thing it checks for is discrepancies in the case of filenames; if it finds any, it corrects them. This feature works on Windows servers, and up until recently, I'm fairly certain that it worked on Samba servers as well. Now, when talking to Samba servers, the program just finds more and more case discrepancies each time it runs, because it can never correct them.) -- Jordan Russell -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

MS Windows doesn't distinguish between those two names, so it won't let you perform the re-name as it thinks you're not changing the name. You can do it in Windows as a two-step process:- Rename FILE.txt to anything.txt Rename anything.txt to file.txt Oh the joys of Windows.
