Samba lower case issue

Hi everybody,

Not sure if it can be done, but maybe there is a wiz around that can help me. My problem is that on my network I have an old nfs client that can only see lowercase filenames. On the other hand that same directory is visible to windows clients that copy files in to it. So sometimes they put Uppercase names and that is something that nfs client doesn't see. I over come this problem by puting:
[nfsshare]
deafult case = lower
case sensitive = no
preserve case = no
short preserve case = no
So each time samba converts filenames to lowercase and that works well. The problem is that windows clients have to mount "nfsshare" separately for that case changing to work. Thing is "nfsshare" is subdirectory of a lets say "main" and when they mount only "main" and copy files to it that name change doesn't happen. Does anyone knows any workaround for this particular problem? For now I tried to mount it additionaly through samba but locally but names stay the same. I don't want to use any bash scripts cause my users are of particular kind .
