I've already posted about this to the samba list (19990201) then to samba-bugs (19990301); no response, so I retry here. I have character set = iso8859-1 client codepage = 850 With samba 1.9.18p8: smbstatus showed the filenames with localized characters ok (ie: libert?.txt); smbclient was ok. With samba 2.0.0 through 2.0.2: if I connect with smbclient to a Samba share I see those characters ok, but smbstatus omits the localized characters in locked files so that "libert?.txt" is: libert?.txt with 1.9.18p8 and libert.txt with 2.0.0-2.0.2 With samba 2.0.3 things got worse: smbstatus has exactly the same behavior as in 2.0.0/2.0.2. smbclient: with "character set = iso8859-1" doesn't even show those files and doesn't allow the win95 clients to see those files; without "character set iso8859-1" it shows the files with the same problem affecting smbstatus (the win95 clients see those files ok though). Should I change my settings?? -- Giulio giuliox@tin.it
