samba - Jan 2004 - 3.0.1 : incorrect handling of files with accentuated chars

Hi,

I recently upgraded from 2.2.8 to 3.0.1 (keeping the same configuration 
file). As a consequence, file names containing a character whose code is >= 
128 (accentuated chars) is incorrectly truncated at this character position.

This was not the case with previous version and I saw no new option related 
to this in v3. May be I missed something...

Thank you in advance for any help.

Michel

There are new settings for character encoding in 3.0, check manpage.

thana year now.

I am using the following in smb.conf.

unix charset = "ISO-8859-1"

It works fine for characters used in spanish. Should work fine for you.
