[Samba] Question about case sensitive setting

Hello,

in the following wiki link:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Performance_Tuning

it states that if I set the following in smb.conf

case sensitive = true
default case = lower
preserve case = no
short preserve case = no


then " Files using uppercase or both uppercase and lowercase are no longer
listed on the share."

However, I have tested it and it doesn't seem to be the case: in the path
on the samba server I have created a directory with uppercase, and the
windows client that mount the share can see it
Am I missing something?

Thanks
Andrea
