I am having a problem with Samba and files that have an underscore as their
first character. I am running NT 4.0 SP3 and Samba 1.9.18p7, below is some
of my smb.conf file.  

The files show up fine in Explorer, but the application that created them
on an NT can not load them if they are on a Samba shared directory, however
if I copy the files to my NT they can be openned fine.  

Any ideas anyone??


[global]
   workgroup = XXXXXXX
   server string = CPS Analytical Data Sever
   interfaces = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/255.255.0.0
   networkstation user login = yes
   wins server = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
    domain master = no
   local master = no
   preferred master = no
   os level = 0
   dead time = 15
   printing = sysv
   printcap name = /usr/local/samba/printers
   load printers = no
   allow hosts = xxx.xxx.
   guest account = jdoe
   security = share
   debug level = 1
   lock directory = /usr/local/samba/var/locks
   share modes = yes
   mangle case = yes
   mangled names = no
   case sensitive = yes
   short preserve case = yes
   preserve case = yes
   client code page = 437
[Data]
   comment = Data
   path = /rawdata/data
   public = no
   writable = yes
   create mask = 0777
   valid users = jdoe


Thanks,
