Problems with NON-DOS-Names

[Michael Kaschel]

Hi!

I'm using currently Samba 2.0 and have problems with
long file names on a samba exported file system.
The creation works for links to dos-programs which
resides on local drive C:, but the execution of the
pif-file fails, when the file name has more than 8 chars.
When I change the path of the linked program from
e. g.  C:\BP\BIN\BP.EXE to %HOMEDRIVE%\BP\BIN\BP.exe
the link works correct independent of the length of
the pif file name. But the dos-program itself cannot
see file names which are not in 8.3 format.

In my smb.conf file I have set mangling to yes but this
seem not have any effect.

Has anybody some hints for solving this problem?

Thanks
