Hello,
I like to backup a MS W95 workstation under Linux. I use Linux SuSE 6.4,
Kernel 2.2.16 (from the SuSE 7.0), Samba 2.0.6 and Windows 95b (OSR2).
The backup medium is a CD-RW burned with x-cdroast. The burning program
reads the smb mounted filesystem and generates an ISO9660 filesystem
with Joilet extension.
Unfortunately Windows uses Umlaute like "? ? ? ? ? ?" in filenames or
directory names. Specially the directory "Zubeh?r" makes the problem.
Unter Linux I see this directory as "Zubeh?r" or "Zubeh r".
On the other hand I can create in a SMB mounted shared directory under
Linux also a file "Zubeh?r". But then it looks in Windows like
"Zubeh?r".
(Possibly the emailer has also some problems with the Umlautes yet)
Additional Information:
smbmount reads the /etc/smb.conf file and it contains already the
required settings:
[global]
....
security = user
client code page = 850
character set = iso8859-1
I guess it has to do with code table conversions (CP850 to ISO8850-1
code tables and visa verse) or with the National language support (NLS)
or with a bug in smbmount and cmbclient with 8bit filenames (see
http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2000-September/024699.html)
All what I found was:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba-ntdom&m=93142304519090&w=2
So the questions are:
1. Is it possible to convert the filenames correct?
2. If yes, what I have to do to fix this problem?
Thanks for hints,
Peter

It allows you to configure a default "nls" for smbfs (2.4.0 allows a modified smbmount to set it per-mount ...). 2.2.18 has other smbfs fixes that everyone needs (well ...) 2.2.16 has some potentially kernel oopsable bugs in smbfs. /Urban

Nevertheless I decide to patch my working SuSE 7.0 kernel 2.2.16 and patch the samba package samba-2.0.7-42.src.rpm with your patches. Notes: - The kernel works also on my SuSE 6.4 distribution. - Before you build the samba rpm, save your /etc/smb.conf, because the building script from suse do not use a virtual root directory> Or much simpler, just upgrade your kernel to 2.2.18.

So it would be a better idea that smbmount will read the default values from the /etc/smb.conf directly - also for kernel 2.2.18 user.
