samba - Jan 2001 - smbmount with iocharset?

Hello all together,

I have found an e-mail between you about smbmount with the new options
iocharset/servercharset/codepage. As I could not find any information about
this I decided to write to you:

Does there already exist a binary to download for SuSE Linux 7.0 on i386? Or
a patch, or sources?

The problem is that German umlauts in filenames are not displayed correctly
when mounting a NTFS partition.

Thank you very much for some more information.

Best regards,

Thomas Buehren

Update your kernel to 2.2.18, configure smbfs to use a default nls
setting (probably cp850) and configure the local default nls to something
that works (probably iso8859-1). Both of these configurations are done in
the kernel config.

NTFS has nothing to do with smbmount. Are you exporting the NTFS partition
from the NT box and then mounting that? If yes, then this should fix
things for you.
