First you copy a "Microsoft" directory to the Samba box
then you copy a "MICROSOFT" directory to the Samba box

NT copies the directory names verbatim, but folds them during lookup.

Now NT shows *TWO* "Microsoft" directories!!! (Aieeeee!)

The obvious solution is to telnet in and make them distinct.

|Kinda scary to attempt to use an NT box to retain your Linux backup. 
|I'm afraid you might have some problems with case sensitivity issues,
|although I've not thought it out too well.  As I recall, NT keeps case
|sensitivity, but ignores it so that "foo" is the same file as "Foo". 
|I'm not sure how Samba deals with this, since, I believe this is 'file
|system' specific.  I do a similar thing, but the other way around.  Of
|course I've got the space on my Linux box.
