Filenames with a "*" in unix.

I don't think there is anything that can be done but....

In our Unix shares, we have multiple (hundreds) of filenames that have
"*" in their names, which really messes up W95 when I attempt to display
the contents of those shares.

Is SAMBA not passing the filenames correctly or W95 is just not reading
them correctly?

Any ideas? on either side. (except changing the filenames to not have
"*"'s).
