Hi, I just upgraded my customer?s servers to Samba 3. Unfortunately in the former 2.x installation there was the wrong character set/codepage configured (the defaults ...). I moved all the files to an XP-box, upgraded to Samba 3.0, removed the options "character set" and "client code page", started Samba and moved the files back. I expected to see the special characters when I look at the shared files via terminal. The characters are correct on the Windows clients, but I have strange filenames when looking at them from the linux-side. This is kind of scary because I backup them via Amanda ... so I have the strange filenames on tape ... with characters I can?t even type. Would be pretty annoying to recover anything particular ... What can I do about it ? Thank you, Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:monitor@oops.co.at

The characters have been recorded perfectly - but to see them, you should set your system localle to UTF8, and use a UTF8 termainal.

Thank you for answering, I had some kind of a bad sleep thinking about that. I just adjusted my Putty to UTF8 and the filenames look pretty ... Best regards, and once again my thanks for doing that nice work on Samba, Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:monitor@oops.co.at
