I'm getting only partial iso8859-1 translation from an smbfs mount from my Win98SE machine. The smbfs mounted file system shows most lower-case accented characters fine; but, it substitutes underscores for most of the upper-case accented characters (and a few lower-case ones too): # uname -a Linux elm 2.4.18-8.1mdkian3 #7 Sat Aug 17 15:19:44 EDT 2002 i686 unknown (Mandrake 8.2 Linux with all

I have become quite confused about the interaction of the kernel versions and the different versions of Samba and smbmount. I have just upgraded to a 2.2 kernel. 'make menuconfig' gave no choice by which to enable the Win95 bug workaround. At the same time, smbmount 2.0.5a, which seems to be the proper one for a 2.2 kernel (it's the latest provided by Debian, under the name

When I try to mount with smbmount the closest result I produced was: ?I???AuUoO?U?????O.txt cp

Hello, I've a problem known especially to german speaking users (and other nationalities using special characters). I'm using Samba 1.9.18 and a linux 2.0.35 kernel I want to create a directory or file with a name containing german umlaute from the win95 client so that I can see it on the linux machine with the equal characters I've used under win95. On the win95 machine the new

Greetings! I have been troubleshooting this for over a week, and what follows is a rather long, detailed description.

Hello list! Sorry to be a pain, but I've hunted high and low and can't seem to find the answer. I have a Slackware 10 system and a Microsoft Windows 2000 system. On the Windows 2000 system are lots of files with extended characters - like (tm), (r) and characters with umlauts. I used the "locale" command and set LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8. I am running KDE and in the Konqueror

Hi, When I "smbmount" a shareable drive on my linux box, the result of the "ls" command is often false. (Kernel is compiled with "SMB Win95 bug work around" and "SMB filesystems support", Linux 2.0.34, RedHat 5.1, Samba 1.9.18p5) What can I do to solve my problem ??? Thanks a lot for your help. Michel

Hi, I am deploying samba for an embedded system. The requirement is that the system should be able to mount windows share points. I believe "smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt" components are needed to do the same. I am not very clear about smbmnt though! I find that smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt are all quite huge. Around 300 to 400Kb each. I understand that Samba is capable of doing

Hello, i read many many faq, docs, mailing lists archive, however smbclient command don't work with filenames/directories of a share(under win98) composed of accentued characters (i'm french, did you notice it with my english level :) ). my conf is: -OS: linux 2.4.17 with RH 7.1 -kernel option: CONFIG_SMB_NLS_DEFAULT=y CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE="cp850" (cp437 tried)

Hi list, I've browsed through the archives, but I didn't find a answer for this: I use smbclient to access a windowsNT 4.0 server. I get only '?' for filenames which contains Umlauts. F.e., a file called "Verkn?pfung" is displayed as "Verkn?pfung". I use following mount-string: mount.smbfs //SERVER/Share /home/xxx -o rw noexec nosuid nodev user codepage

Dear Samba Developers, Dear Urban, This was my original letter. I hope you get it correctly this time. Maybe it was too big, now I reduced the size of this letter. My goal is to make a Linux fileserver up and running with automatic archiving functionality in a mixed Windows 2000 - Linux network and since the beginning of February I could not solve my problem, so I write to you hoping that you

Does somebody know how to handle 8bit characters ..?

I am having some problems when I have a Win95 share mounted using smbmount. In some directories not all the directory entries are showing up for an ls. I can traverse the directories if I know what they are. I am running Debian Linux 2.0(libc6) with kernel 2.0.34 and samba 1.9.18p8. I have smbfs and the win95 bug workaround compiled into the kernel. Is there a solution to this? Also, I am

Hi, I am well aware that the charset problem has been discussed many times over. But after two days of googling and testing, I did not make any progress.
