- !== CRLF-LF-Conversions.txt for Samba release 2.0.7 26 Apr 2000
- !==
- We get many requests for CRLF/LF format conversion handling by samba.
- The problem is that there is no clean way to determine which files
- should / could be converted and which MUST not be.
-
- Since Unix and DOS/Windows uses alike will use .txt to represent a
- file containing ASCII text we can not reliably use the file extension.
- The same applies to the .doc extension.
-
- Samba operates around the premise that we should leave all files unchanged.
- By not implmenting CRLF/LF conversions we can not be guilty of damaging
- anyone's files.
-
- When someone comes along with a sound implementation that guarrantees file
- integrity we will jump at the opportunity to implement this feature. Until
- such time there is no prospect for action on this topic.
