Re: samba and files rename

When I try to rename (from windows host) a file in the sharing of samba, the
file isn't renamed :-/

Ex.
readme.txt
to
Readme.txt (i renamed only the letter R)
i press enter (and f5 to refresh) but the file is always readme.txt

Instead if i rename completly the file (all letters) the renamed is correct
(Readme.txt)

Why? I remember that old version of samba doesn't have this problem.


Windows doesn't make much diference between Readme README and rEaDmE

So when you remane the X file to "x", really windows doesn't care
about it. I have a samba installed at work and I tested it, and when I
rename the file in my Debian its OK, but when I rename the file in
Windows is just an ilution (it never remanes if I just change the
case). But it changes the name in the server when I change really the
name (from "x" to "othe name").
