samba - Sep 2007 - Allowed punctuation in samba filenames?

hi 

I've run into problems moving stuff from one ext3 filesystem to another
via samba.  It seems the problem is due to some punctuation not being
allowed in paths/filenames.

Can anyone tell me where I can find a definitive list of allowed /
illegal characters?

Thanks in advance

Matt

If you're using a modern Samba with a modern CIFS client
all POSIX pathnames are supported (via the UNIX extensions).
