[Samba] Directory Listing / Windows XP

[Arun Horne]

All,

I have searched in vain for the answer to this so I hope someone can help 
me. I am running Samba  3.0.21a on an NSLU2 host. The host disk has an ext3 
filesystem exporting to Windows XP as a network share. When I view the 
contents of a directory, I see files and directories listed in alphabetical 
order (i.e. files mixed with directories) when I use the network share. I 
would really like to have the share list all directories (in alpha order) 
followed by all files (in order) as per standard Windows XP folder listings.

I have tried to adjust this using the Windows XP folder settings but it has 
had no effect so I must conclude it could be controlled from the smbd 
program. Does anyone how I could make listings appear as I wish?

My smb.conf is below...

Kind regards
Arun
