[Samba] Filename problem (filenames containing slashes aka. \ and /)

[rruegner]

Hi Mark,
as far i know,
\ / are interpreted as path signs, i am not clear why any software 
should interpret this in another way.
using special signs as filenames are a bug in user brain not in the 
software of fileservers, whatever you use
Regards
