samba - Jun 2003 - German characters for Windows and Linux clients

Hi,

I use a central Linux RH 9.0 Server which should serve as a fileserver 
using SAMBA.
But the main issue is, that i have Linux and Windows clients to server !.

If i configure the the codepages 850 and the character set ISO8859-1 
then the Windows client works fine with his own files, including special 
  german characters like ? or others, but the Linux Workstations are not 
able to use these files and directories !.

What kind of configuration can solve my problem ?.


best regards
Johannes

The Linux apps are using utf8, the Samba files are being created
in ISO8859-1 (as requested). Change the Linux locale to be iso8859-1
and you should see the files correctly.

Hi,

That helps for the Windows clients - but now the Linux Clients dont show 
the right filenames (like the windows clients before) !. I changed the 
Linux clients settings according to them on the server (locale) but that 
doesnt help !!.

Whats wrong now ??.

Your clients either use the wrong code page on the wire, or the shell
programs on the clients misinterpret the data.

To understand that better, you need to report
a) what codeset is used on the wire, and
b) what encoding your clients use in the terminal windows.
