[Samba] accessing Windows shares with smbount garbles german Umlaute
>From what I've been able to gather this problem is very common, but I din'tfind any solution on groups.google.com, maybe somebody here can help? Problem: I create a file on a windows machine called sm?rebr?d.txt and mount said drive from a Linux machine via smbmount, there it becomes: sm?rebr?d.txt Had this problem with local disks, too, but fixed that by adding iocharset=iso8859-1 and codepage=850 to the fstab entries, but tho smbmount's manpage says these can be passed to smbmount, too it doesn't work. the fstab entry look like this: //xerxes/mm1 /mnt/xerxes/d smbfs users,uid=1000,gid=100,rw,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,credentials=/etc/ bloorg 0 0 Local machine is Slackware 8.1 with Samba 2.2.7a, kernel 2.4.19, /etc/samba/smb.conf has client codepage set to 850. Remote Machine is WinXP Pro. Any help appreciated. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a-- C++(+++) UL>+++ P+>++ L++>++++ E-- W++ N+ o?
