samba - Dec 2000 - Bug: Umlaute in Filenames on smbmounted shares don't work

Using Umlaute in filenames on smbmounted shares, creates unaccessible files on
the Windows-Client.

Used program versions:
Samba: samba 2.0.7
System: SuSE-Linux  7.0 (kernel 2.2.16)
Clients: Windos 98 Second edition

To reproduce the bug do (as root):

smbserver: # smbmount //WINCLIENT/SHARE /mnt/
smbserver: # md /mnt/=E4=F6=FC=DF

Switch to the Windows-Client and try to access the directory or to delete it.
This results in a Filesystem error. The directory appears as "=F5=F7=B3
"

Vice versa if you create a directory "=E4=F6=FC=DF" on the
Windows-Client, it appears
as "\200\220\201=E1" on the Linux-FS.

/var/log/kernel reports:
Jan 22 09:29:47 pcsz kernel: smb_get_length: recv error =3D 5
Jan 22 09:29:47 pcsz kernel: smb_request: result -5, setting invalid
Jan 22 09:29:47 pcsz kernel: smb_retry: new pid=3D6126, generation=3D3 =20

if I try to rename the directory in the kde-kfm. Moving it on the command line
with bash works.

Can I use options for the code page mapping to smbmount
like in vfat (say uni_xlate or so?), to correct this?
=20
The /etc/smb.conf contains
        character set =3D iso8859-1
        client code page =3D 850
and works for smbclient, but smbmount doesn't to get it right.

Regards, Stefan.

Upgrade to 2.2.18, configure it with the correct defaults (iso8859-1 as
default nls, cp850 as default remote nls for smbfs).

smbmount ignores those settings, and the conversions need to take place in
smbfs anyway. Someone suggested that smbmount should use those values as
default and pass the info to smbfs.

That's nothing, try creating/using a file named "..."
(that's three dots, or periods if you prefer)
But that's an M$ "feature" and applies to 98/NT alone too.
