CIFS9000-NT

[R Madhavan]

I am using CIFS9000 to share a filesystem with an application running in NT box. When edit or create any text file from NT on the shared filesystem, every line appended with ^M. (carriage return) at UNIX side. Any parameter available in smb.conf file to overcome this or any other suggestion...
thanks.

Hi,

Actually, the line gets appended with ^M at the NT side... If you for instance use FTP to transfer the file from NT to UNIX, then FTP will translate the NT-style linefeeds to UNIX-style linefeeds. There's no Samba parameter, AFAIK, that will do this conversion for you.

You'll need to use a program like dos2ux to get rid of these carriage returns.

while tranfering file from NT to unix, NT will transfer along with its line feeder(^M) , there is no any parameter in NT to overcome this. after tranfering to unix we have to use 'sed' to remove all ^M. (: sed 1,$s/^M//g) will do the job.

Actually it is the application which is using a text editor in NT, (i do not know what this editor is)editing the file which is in UNIX which is also used subsequently by UNIX. So i guess in this case it is the editor which must take care of this. Thanks,
