Doing this with smbclient gives a different result: bubu...@mykerinos:~/src/debian/samba/samba-3.3.0rc2/source/lib> smbclient //localhost/public Enter bubulle's password: Domain=[MYKERINOS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.3.0rc2] smb: \> ren file.abc file.TXT NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_COLLISION renaming files \file.abc -> \file.TXT The same happens with a 3.2.5 server: bubu...@mykerinos:~/src/debian/samba/samba-3.3.0rc2/source/lib> smbclient //localhost/public Enter bubulle's password: Domain=[MYKERINOS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.2.5] smb: \> ren file.abc file.TXT NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_COLLISION renaming files \file.abc -> \file.TXT
