samba - Jun 2007 - smbclient error: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME, on shared foler with a Chinese name

Hi folks,

I am trying to access the shared folders on a Windows XP PC from a Linux (FC5)
PC using  smbclient.

Linux config info:

$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

$ rpm -q samba
samba-3.0.24-6.fc5

smb.conf:
[global]
        dos charset = CP936                                         <---
Simplified Chinese
        unix charset = UTF-8
        display charset = LOCALE

Now, here is the problem: smbclient can list the shared folders, including one
with a Chinese name; but smbclient can't access the Chinese folder itself.

The Chinese folder name could be messed up on your display due to either the
encoding or the fonts issue. This isn't the issue here.

$ smbclient -L kings-win -U user%passwd
Domain=[KINGS-WIN] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        IPC$            IPC       ?? IPC
        SharedDocs      Disk
        D_Drive         Disk
        C_Drive         Disk
        ????    Disk                                             <---- shared
folder in Chinese

Domain=[KINGS-WIN] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------
$ smbclient  \\\\kings-win\\SharedDocs -U user passwd
Domain=[KINGS-WIN] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
smb: \>

So far, so good. Now, try to access the Chinese folder:

$ smbclient  \\\\kings-win\\???? -U user passwd
Domain=[KINGS-WIN] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

What could be the problem? 

I should point out that this Chinese shared folder is located in the D
partition, i.e. the D_Drive shared folder contains the Chinese-named folder.
Obviously this is no problem at all, since SharedDocs is inside C_Drive.

Does anybody do similar thing, but with any other non-European shared folder
name?

Thank you very much!

Well, the problem is the samba-client package I think.

I tried the same test on a FC6 machine and it works ok.

My FC5 has samba-client-3.0.24-6.fc5

The default FC6 has samba-client-3.0.23c-2 and I am even using the default
smb.conf setting of "dos charset = CP850", instead of the Chinese
charset of CP936, which is a bit odd.

So something is broken in samba-client-3.0.24-6.fc5.
