samba - Jun 1999 - 2.0.4b/rh60/smbstatus: European characters (accented)

character set = iso8859-1
client code page = 850

Through win9x I save a file, whose filename contains characters as: ? ? ? ? ?,
on a samba share.

I can see those filenames (on a samba share) ok through win9x explorer.
I can see those filenames ok through ls on linux.

If I open one of those file, and then look at locked files with smbstatus,
they are showed with a LF in place of the localized characters.

That is:
a file named 

beginning_?_end.wpd

is showed as

beginning_
_end.wpd

Instead of 
beginning_?_end.wpd
as it would be correct and as it works in samba 1.9.18


I've already post about this 4 times. I hope someone will answer this time
:)

Well, after 4 months no one explained me why I have this problem :-)

However I did some tests:

The output of smbstatus in samba-1.9.18 and in all samba 2.0.x is different.

for the characters: ??????  (aeioue with accents)

1.9.18 outputs correctly the localized chars and analyzing with "od
-bc" the
output I see that it is:
\340\350\354\362\371\351

2.0.x output incorrectly the same chars (or maybe I misconfigured my systems,
but it's the same on Caldera and the new rh60), "od -bc" shows:
\205\212\215\225\227\202

SOLUTION:
for samba 2.0.x I need to use
smbstatus|tr '\205\212\215\225\227\202'
'\340\350\354\362\371\351'
and all is ok :-)

If someone can explain me this I'm still waiting :)
