Dir Ab... works with Win2K (sort of) but not with NT4

[Darko Longin]

Hi,

We've got a subdir created on our share called "Ab...". That's with 3
full stops, tried telling users just to use 'normal' characters to no
avail. NT can not access it, error message "The folder \\blah\blah\Ab..."
does not exist. However, Win2K can access the dir but can not see any
files within it.

Created under Solaris7 on sun box with rwx for all. Samba ver 2.0.5. I've
tried the mangle case and mangle names option but it does not seem to make
a blind bit of difference. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks
