[Samba] Charset issue with Samba 3.0.* and AIX5.2 ML5
Hey, I have AIX5.2 running with en_US ( ISO8859-1) as charset (see smitty shot bellow). Change/Show Cultural Convention, Language, or Keyboard Primary CULTURAL convention ISO8859-1 English (United States) [en_US] + Primary LANGUAGE translation ISO8859-1 English (United States) [en_US] + I installed samba 3.0.4.0 from Bullfreeware. It works, but I have a big charset issue : Files created with the old Samba2, and which have special char in their filename (eg : ? , ? , ... ) are now unreadable. Special char are replaced by an unknow char (displayed like a pipe), and are not accessible from, clients. Here is the [global] section of smb.conf where charset params are : [global] display charset = UTF8 unix charset = LOCALE #unix charset = ASCII #unix charset = UTF8 dos charset = ASCII I tested this, useless : - Without the dos charset parameter, filenames are truncated on the first special char. - With dos charset = ISO8859-1 , same result that with ascii - Compiled Samba 3.0.20b : special chars are replaced by underscores, but ... files are readable ! :) . Do someone have an idea ? How can I know exactly how my Samba 2 works with charset on my machine ? The testparm doesn't give a lot of info about charsets...
