Hi, im using net rpc vampire to migrate users/ groups from nt4 to samba3 with ldap backend. But the umlauts (????) in the displayname are malformend. Unix charset in smb.conf is set to ISO8859-1. Any hint how to correct this? Regards S.Drees

Windows does allow unicode characters in file names and in other places. Translating them to ISO8859-1 will not always work.

I changed the charset to UTF8, but nothing changes. Smbldap-usershow shows me the malformed umlauts, with ldapsearch i get "displayname:: Qs19dnttIFRidKxlej==". I tried to change unix charset to UTF8, ISO8859-1, ISO8850-15, but the displayname doesn`t change. I also changed the locales to UTF-8, UTF-8@euro, de_DE, de_DE@euro, but the displayname doesn?t change, too. net rpc vampire ignores the settings. Any other ideas?
