[Samba] problem reading and creating unicode filenames with Samba 3.0alph a20
hey all, i'm having a problem creating foreign-language filenames under Samba 3.0 alpha 20 (on stock redhat 7.3). i would like to be able to open up the share under win2k pro (english version), switch my language to Hebrew, and type in a Hebrew filename. when i do this, the file shows up as the hebrew name until i refresh it, at which point the characters are replaced by question marks. (a ls in the directory on the linux box shows the same thing - all ????'s) this seems like a unicode issue -- it works fine with another win2k smb server. i thought samba 3.0 sent unicode over the wire by default? anyways, here is the global section of my smb.conf: [global] security = share encrypt passwords = yes server string = samba3 (%v,%h) load printers = no log level = 5 log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m guest account = pcguest hosts allow = 10.0.0 192.168 localhost password level = 2 socket options = TCP_NODELAY share modes = yes locking = yes strict locking = yes keepalive = 30 unicode = yes unix charset = UTF8 dos charset = UCS-2LE i have also tried dos charset = UTF-8 and it did the same thing.. any ideas? thanks, -drew
