I am trying to connect to a samba server (hosted by a unix platform; for which I have also ftp and telnet access). I have problems with accents in filenames: when I issue the command mount -t smbfs -o 'username=oesser,password=xxxxxxxx,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=iso8859-1,uid=oesser,gid=oesser,dmask=700,fmask=700' //nestor.ulb.ac.be/oesser /mnt/nestor all works fine but if I put //nestor.ulb.ac.be/oesser /mnt/nestor smbfs noauto,username=oesser,password=xxxxxxxx,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=iso8859-1,uid=oesser,gid=oesser,dmask=700,fmask=700 0 0 in /etc/fstab accented letters created when accessing the count via the preceding command or via telnet or ftp are replaced by unprintable characters What I really don't understand is that I have put exactly the same options in boths case and the result is not the same. About my configuration: I am using Mandrake 10.0 official and I attach my /etc/sysconfig/i18n which reflet my current locale. I am unsure about exactly what command are called by mount and what are their versions. Please tell me if more information is needed Many thanks for your help!
