I have a problem with a client who I have recently set up Samba for. He is trying to install a Windows program that relies on the Windows algorithm for generating the 8.3 filename conversions of long filenames. Samba appears to be using a totally different algorithm.
Example: Create a directory called "TestDirectory" Samba creates an 8.3 filename of TESTD~Y7 but Windows creates TESTDI~1 Now create a directory called "TestDirectory2" Samba creates an 8.3 filename of TESTD~W@ but Windows creates TESTDI~2 Does anyone know of any way to configure Samba to use the Windows algorithm for filename mangling? -- Regards, +-----------------------+---------------------------------+ | Peter Kiem | E-Mail : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | Zordah IT | Mobile : +61 0414 724 766 | | IT Consultancy & | WWW : www.zordah.net | | Internet Hosting | ICQ : "Zordah" 866661 | +-----------------------+---------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
