[Samba] Charset problem only on redirected folder Desktop.
Hi, We're currently using Samba server version 3.0.28 running on a Solaris 10u4 box. We share users's home directories between Unix and Windows clients and have to specify the smb.conf parameter unix charset to iso-8859-15 (or so-8859-1) to ensure correct names for files and folders (containing accents) from Windows and Unix.... everything is ok : Windows Explorer looks ok, and "ls" in Solaris also. We configured GPO in AD server (a windows machine) to redirect special folders (including Desktop) for user to subdirectories in their home directory, which is their samba share, and it works fine. But, whe have problems with files names when creating files directly from the WinXP Desktop. It seems that the unix charset does not apply on this desktop redirect folder. Of course, it works if I browse the desktop folder with Windows Explorer and create files here.... Windows Desktop show Test?.txt ls /homes/user/Windesktop -rwxr--r-- 1 user 0 Feb 14 18:41 Test??.txt Any ideas ? Cheers.
