Hello everyone, I have a problem with smbmount. After I mount a certain share, I can not view files with weird charaters in their name. This happends for example with the copyright char. After searching with Google I still didn't find an answer. I guess it has something to do with a 'charset' command, but I can't figure out wich one, and what character table I should use... I'm using RedHat 9 and Samba 3.0.2a, and I connect to a Windows 2000 SBS machine.

Try the CIFS VFS, for better character set compatibility (due to unicode support).

I think unix charset is utf8 by default, so unless you have changed it, it should be ok. I don't think the other charset options will affect it. I presume that the actual file server is configured correctly to handle exotic characters. I think you should check that you have compiled other various charsets in the kernel for samba. iso8559-15 is good for western european countries and utf8 is needed as well. good luck marty <jurrie.overgoor@zonnet.nl> wrote in message news:1077876317.403f165da6953@webmail.zonnet.nl...
