Hello, My users' profiles have been stored in /usr/local/profiles. Since I have the german version of Windows 2000, some characters in the file names can't be read again by the clients while logging on. (i.e.Startmen?). The 'valid chars' ,'client codepage' and 'character set' doesn't work anymore (testparm: unnkown parameter) And what about this error messages concerning the upcase.dat, lowcase.dat and valid.dat given by testparm ? I searched for it and I found a japanese valid.dat by tridge (+ the two other files). After downloading and coying them to /usr/local/etc the errors were gone. Are they language specific ?
