I having that very same problem.
I run a network of abot 100 computers, half win98 half Macs.
Well it seems that Macs in particular cause that problem and when it comes to
share documents between computers using a common share, somtimes it's a mess.
Since it seems there is no remedy to recover from the character ':' is there
a way to prevent Samba to use it?
Thanx.
