This issue applies to files which are marked as "unsafe" by Windows XP, for example files which has been downloaded from internet. It does not happen with local files, or files which has been manually marked as "safe".
When I transfer those "unsafe" files from my Windows XP Pro through Samba to my openSUSE 11.0 server, it creates an additional file with same name and
one.Identifier:$DATA padded to the filename, which of course is impossible to delete from the remote PC since : is not a valid character in a Windows filename. This strange behaviour has never been seen in previous versions of openSUSE, so there must be something special about the Samba package in openSUSE 11.0
Since I need to remove those extra files manually from the server, it's rather annoying to say the least.
Any tips about avoiding this is welcome, or hopefully there will soon come a patch for Samba to solve this problem. I seriously doubt that I am the only one with this problem, since it worked excellent on Suse 10.3, and I have not done any changes in my Windows PC...
