Captal Letters and Samba?

Hey, i've got a redhat 9.0 box running samba, and a windows xp machine (im vmware) connecting to it. The thing thats weird is when i copy a file (lets say one neamed "New Word Document.doc") to the samba share it automatically takes out the caps and names it "new word document.doc". This is pretty odd to me, hopefully an easy fix. Any ideas? thanks!

By default, Samba converts upper case to lower case.
In /etc/samba/smb.conf, change the preserve case option to yes.
Code:
preserve case = yes
You can also take a look a the Samba documentation and HowTO.
