Hi all,
I have a file that samba does not know how to access. The file is located on
a w2k server. The samba box is a member of the w2k domain (ADS). When I try
to access the file via nfs I get "no such file or directory". In the
logs
I get the following error:

I suspect that the problem is with the ^U in the filename. When I look at this
file from the windows machine I see some kind of weird symbol that kind of looks
like 2 "S" characters one on top of the other.
If I do an ls using tab completion I get an error as shown below.

Code\ ^U\ 36-1401.htm
36-1401.htm: No such file or directory
If I do a simple I get the display below.
(bfs pts6) # ls -l
total 470

In the smb.conf I have "unix charset = LOCALE" per the samba howto.
The LANG environ on the machine is as follows:
(bfs pts6) # echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
(bfs pts6) #
The samba server is a RHEL3 box with samba-3.0.9-1.3E.3 rpms installed.
Does anyone know how to configure samba so that it can recgonize the same
characters that windows can??
Regards,
Tom
