Hallo, Daniel,
Du meintest am 06.03.10:
> I have a server that uses both NFS and Samba. I noticed on a Windows
> client that some directories and files were in the 8.3 format, and
> clicking on them resulted in an "Access denied." message.
> I've since upgraded to 3.5.0 - now the "Access denied." message is
> gone and I can enter and open files, but all of the names are shown
> in the 8.3 format and are almost unreadable. I discovered that the
> filenames in question have full colons (:) in them, and this is
> illegal for Windows clients. Windows itself won't let you create a

> I have listings like:
> T7UFO1~9
> --TAHX6K~4.txt
> --TAHX6K~B.ods
> etc.
No help, just an idea:
Looks that like
dir /x
on the Windows/DOS side?
Viele Gruesse!
