[Samba] problems with special characters
Hello NG, maybe anybody can help me... I got trouble with the german special characters. After upgrading to v3.0.11 any special character will be displayed as an underscore. Also the modification of the smb.conf couldn't fix the problems: character set = ISO8859-1 client code page = 850 Since v3 these options are out of date, but I used them anyway. After switching back to v3.0.3 all the characters will be displayed correctly. But I recordnized another problem: The characters won't be correctly displayed on the machine itself (using ls). So I guess it's a main problem, but I'm not sure. I set my locale to de_DE and if i touched a file with those characters in the filename it will be shown as it should. Even via samba. So, anybody experience with setting the right character encoding? Oh yes - I'm using redhat v8. Thanks, bastian
