[Samba] AutoCAD file names UPPER CASE on samba

[peter.a.bryant at mainroads.qld.gov.au]

Roberto - thanks for your help - I think I've found a solution.

Our servers are currently running Samba 2.0.6 (I think I said 2.0.8 before
mistakenly)

We have a test server running Samba 2.2.2 with pretty much the same conf file as
the others.
So I tried saving an AutoCAD file to this machine, and it seems to preserve the
case just fine.

So in summary, the solution to this problem seems to be to upgrade to at least
Samba 2.2.2 .

I couldn't find this fix mentioned in any release notes, so I'm not sure at what
version this was fixed.

-pete.

(Martyn thanks also for your assistance)



Pete

Just more 2 things to try,

1 - upgrade your samba, I´m using 2.2.3a in Linux, and also in Solaris 2.4.1
2 - try to add the follow in your smb.conf

  client code page = 850

  character set = iso8859-1

or what is correct to you.

Roberto
