+ names. The default setting of auto allows clients that support case
+ sensitive filenames (Linux CIFSVFS and smbclient 3.0.5 and above currently)
+ to tell the Samba server on a per-packet basis that they wish to access
+ the file system in a case-sensitive manner (to support UNIX case sensitive
+ semantics). No Windows or DOS system supports case-sensitive filename so
+ setting this option to auto is that same as setting it to no for them.
