samba and ascii file

[Christopher R. Hertel]

1) You should upgrade.

2) The smbclient utility will do what you want.  Use the "translate"
   command at the command prompt.  (I don't know why the help message says
   that this is for printing--it does what you ). 

   There is no way to know which files are text and which are not, so the
   smbd daemon is not the right place to perform such conversions.  Your
   options are to use smbclient to manually translate the files as you 
   move them, or to use a simple conversion program.  There are a lot of
   them.  I believe that many MS products convert from Unix format to DOS 
   format automatically.

3) The question really doesn't belong on the Samba Tech mailing list.  
   This list is primarily for discussions concerning the deep technical 
   aspects of Samba and the SMB protocol suite.
