Well, Javid,
AFAIK, you CAN't.  all the case options with samba deal with FILE and
DIRECTORY names 
IN a share.  The sharename itself is NOT case sensitive.  In fact, if you
look at a
wire trace, you will see that the sharename is sent all in upper case
(despite what 
your explorer window shows you...)

Hope this helps,
Don

Hi 
I am having problems with naming share ( case )
the unix side share name is /opt/template
and there is another share on unix side /opt/Template

how would i configure samba to make sure it see "template" and "Template"
differently
right now  whenever i map from windows( as template or Template )  it goes
to /opt/template only.

i tried following options

[Template]
path = /opt/Template
case sensitive = yes
short preserve case = yes
preserver case = yes

[template]
path = /opt/template
case sensitive = yes
short preserve case = yes
preserver case = yes


thanks in advance
