Mike,
I was running some tests with jCIFS (output to be put into my book) and
noticed that jCIFS is setting bit 4 of the FLAGS field.
The SNIA CIFS doc says (...I quoteth from the source):
Bit 4: Obsolescent -- client case maps (canonicalizes) file and directory
names; servers must ignore this flag.
That last bit means that it's safe to use, but it will be ignored. Is
there a reason this is set? I've found a number of things in the SNIA
that don't quite match empicial evidence (mostly hold-overs from the
Leach/Naik draft). Just curious to know if this changes server behavior
in your experience.
