[sclug] Case preservation in Samba

Hello All,

I'm having a problem with making Samba case sensitive, and I was
wondering if anyone's ever solved this problem. I think it can best be
demonstrated with a little example:

In a share exported from a Linux machine to another Linux machine.
Server is Samba 3.0.0beta2-1 on Debian.
- -------------------------------------
ara at zoidberg $ touch Test
ara at zoidberg $ file Test
Test: empty
ara at zoidberg $ file test
test: empty
ara at zoidberg $ file tes
tes: Can't stat `tes' (No such file or directory)
- -------------------------------------

This time the same commands are repeated in a normal directory on the
client - not in a mounted share
- -------------------------------------
ara at zoidberg $ touch Test
ara at zoidberg $ file Test
Test: empty
ara at zoidberg $ file test
test: Can't stat `test' (No such file or directory)
ara at zoidberg $ file tes
tes: Can't stat `tes' (No such file or directory)
- -------------------------------------

The second is the behaviour I want for the Samba share. Does anyone know
~ the correct configuration options, or if it's even possible?
In my smb.conf I already have:
	preserve case = yes
	case sensitive = yes

I haven't been able to find any information on how to get this to work,
but I also haven't found anything which says it definitely doesn't work.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,

Andy
