[Samba] Samba 3.02 with dos filenames

[Collen]

Try dir /X in a dos box..
it will show you the long and short file names..

how manny char's of the original filenames are shown.. ??
coz' i got mangle prefix on 5, and it show's 5 original char's ..
but putting it on 6 doesn't make anny changes so..

l8r..
