Just to clarify, there is only one file on the opensolaris cifs server called 
myfile.txt. myfile.TXT does not exist really, but the cifs server should be 
case insensitive and return myfile.txt.

I did sniff the traffic and opensolaris return 'file not found' when accessing 
myfile.TXT.

To answer the other question, we are not using Samba :)
