Hi! All:
I'm working on add unicode support in samba. However, I meet a question as
the following description, please advise me.
My smb.conf sets:
dos charset =3D UTF8
display charset =3D UTF8
unix charset =3D UTF8
I use smbmount //share /path -o username=3Duser,passwd=3D1234 to mount a
directory to a user's home dir.
Original I use ASCII charset, and find traditional chinese not supported, thus I
change to UTF8, and I can see traditional chinese.
However, when I use CIFS to access the same share, I saw the chinese file name
can't be decoded.
After search the website, I've tried using with options
codepage=3Dcp950/utf8,iocharset=3Dcp950/utf8, but nothing changed.
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Latrell

I searched the net for this information and didnt get any. I see only unicode file and share names, and no mention of server names in unicode at all. For example can the LANMAN NetServerEnum2 comeback with unicode server names on the wire? Please assist. Thanks --Gayathri

So long as the DOS codepage is set correctly on the client then the server name should be seen correctly. Jeremy.
