I've installed Samba 3.0.7 (stock Debian package), but I'm having some
wierd problems with name mangling. The relevant lines in smb.conf are:
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes
mangled names = yes
mangle prefix = 5
mangling method = hash2
In a share, I did "touch test-file.GHO" to create a long filename. When
I do a "dir" under DOS, however, it shows:
TVTSSK~S GHO 0 11-02-04 3:07p test-file.GHO
I can't see how samba came up with this mangled name. I tried changing
the mangle prefix and/or mangle method but it made no difference. I made
sure I killed the "smbd" process after any changes I made and can see it
being restarted and a new TCP connection established to it.
Any ideas? Thanks!
