I have a Win98 machine with Russian file names. As suggested in many places, I
put the following into smb.conf:
client code page = 866
character set = KOI8-R
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes
default case = upper
case sensitive = yes
Still, the filenames as viewed from Linux are unreadable (and files are
unaccessible). For example, the Russian name of the "My documents"
folder becomes "Н╚?
Я╚╛:03c0~:0393:03b4", a mix of wrong
characters and some hex codes preceded by ":".
The system is Mandrake 8.2. Everywhere else Cyrillic letters show up fine,
including a local fat32 partition, so this is not a problem with Cyrillic
support. I have tried samba 2.2.3a and then 2.2.5, but the problem persists.
Just in case, here's the line from fstab:
//winbox/C /mnt/c smbfs uid=bulia,password=,user,defaults,fmask=0666 0 0
