[Samba] Re: inconsistent caching - bug?

[Kenneth Loafman]

As far as Windows goes, File1.txt and FILE1.TXT are the same file. 
Windows is somewhat case aware, but not case sensitive.  I don't know
how Samba resolves these, but I've seen Windows get really confused with
this situation, especially with two directories of the same name (doc
and DOC).
