I have a Linux samba server setup at work, whose shares I operate on via
Windows 98 and Linux. Long filenames have not been a problem for me. I
don't know about subdirs. I can create them with Linux, and don't know
why I wouldn't be able to via Windows. One thing, though. Every dir and
subdir managed by Samba on the server is under my username, which is the
same name (and password) that I use on the Win98 system. I know very
little about Samba, other than I got it to work and left it alone. I can
email you my smb.cfg, if it would help.
