Hello,
i have a great problem with copying files via smbmount and smbclient.
In my source-directory on computer1 i have the files

sei001 with size 100 bytes
and
SEI001 with size 200 bytes.

After copy these files to computer2 in the destination directory there only
SEI001 with the size of 100 bytes has arrived.

Samba does the following:
It copies the file SEI001 to the destination and then overwrites the SEI001
on the destination computer with the content of sei001 instead of creating a
new file.

It doesn't depend on the operating system!!!
Used computers:
PC mit SuSE 6.4, Kernel 2.2.14, samba-2.0.6-48
PC mit SuSE 6.4, Kernel 2.2.16, samba-2.0.6-48
PC mit SuSE 7.3, Kernel 2.4.10-4GB, samba-2.0.6-48
PC mit SuSE 7.3, Kernel 2.4.10-4GB, samba-2.2.1a-32
HP-9000 mit HP-UX 10.20, samba 1.9.17

If i copy via NFS, it works fine, but i don't want to use NFS.

In the documentation i couldn't find any setting for smb.conf that solves
the problem.

Is there anybody who can help me?
