hi, I'm using samba 2.0.7 with Conectiva Linux (Redhat). I'm having the following problem: When I'm using my windows machine, I connect to a share at samba. This is working fine! If I use any portuguese language simbols they appear right at the share, but when I log into my linux box and look for the file, its name is comletely messed with funny simbols. For example: I connect to \\myserver\mydir and create a file named cora??o.doc. In the share it is all right, but if I log into myserver, the file will be named cora???.doc. At my linux box, my language setings are OK, and I can use all portuguese simbols right.

Something like this: character set = ISO8859-1 client code page = 850 (possibly with different values) For those who wonder about these numbers, here is a good site: http://czyborra.com/charsets/codepages.html http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html /Urban
