CentOS - Jun 2010 - Samba and " (and maybe other characters) in paths/files

Hello


I have samba installed on my server, with a fileshare. When connecting to samba,
using windows, filesnames with " (double quotes) in them become gibberish
on the windows client.

Under linux I connect to these fileshares using NFS, and the names are correct
(I also created them this way).

I've made a screenshot: http://users.webmind.be/~glenn/samba.PNG

How can I fix this?


Thanks,

Glenn

By removing the " because Windows doesn't allow them in filenames.

Since Windows doesn't allow double quotes in filenames, Samba doesn't 
either.

Single quotes (') are allowed and you can use them instead.
