SAMBA digest 2116

[Thomas Cameron]

Wei -

I have seen that error message in the past as a symptom of case sensitivity
problems.

I usually choose the following options in smb.conf in a mixed NT/9x
environment:

preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes
case sensitive = no

Then that problem goes away.
