First, "case sensitive = no" is the default. You would have to explicitly set it to "yes" to break things, which would be a strange thing to do. Second, the reports suggest that this problem is related to using mount.cifs instead of smbmount. If the Samba server had "case sensitive = yes", it would never have worked. My guess is that mount.cifs (which invokes the fancy new Linux CIFS client) is allowing the Linux client and server to negotiate "unix extensions", including some kind of case sensitivity even when the server is not configured for it. Also, we have some evidence that checking for the existence of txtsetup.sif (when the actual name is TXTSETUP.SIF) works, but trying to open it fails. Glen Bunting writes: > That makes sense.

Hard to say for sure, but whatever the problem is, I highly suspect it has the same underlying cause. I uploaded a 4.4-rc1 to <http://unattended.sourceforge.net/testing/> earlier today, with the smbmount code re-enabled. Care to give that a try? - Pat ***************************************************************************** If you are not the intended recipient of this e-mail, please notify the sender immediately.
