samba - May 2010 - Two Qs: support special chars in filenames and auditing

Hi experts,

 

Two hopefully quick questions:

 

1.      If I create files with names with special characters, such
as
><*:"?\|, on the linux server box, I can see these filenames display
just fine. But windows client the special characters do not show up
properly. Is there a option to set? I tried:

               In [global] section:
character set = ISO8859-2
client code page = 852



It did not work.

 

2.      Is there an audit log where it records user's
access/modification information?

 

Thanks,

-Grace

*nix _allowed_ filename chars don't match the windows ones:

So Samba can't deliver them "properly" over to windows.

have a look at 'man vfs_full_audit'
or even better:
