similar to: Samba 3.3.4 Umlaut in Share comment

Hello, All! I found that Samba checks description fields encoding at various tdb files to late. Case 1. FreeBSD with UTF-8 support. At some cases FreeBSD's adduser script can save incorrect UTF-8 sequence to GECOS /etc/passwd field. (Here is example http://www.acc.tula.ru/~acc107_3/samba/miscoding/gecos.txt) When user is added to Samba, Samba reads GECOS field "as is" without

This samba is scheduled for upgrade. We've been testing samba 4.3.8 packages (from BULLFreeware) on other AIX. It was not easy the install, even with RPM packages. I hope to do the upgrade soon, but I need to have this particular user working now. What puzzles me is that I have other windows 7 PCs happily working on the same resource. 2017-01-04 16:21 GMT-03:00 Rowland Penny via samba

Hello list, I've noticed this problem for a few years now, I think. I see it popped out now and then in discussions. But they always end before a solution is given. So let's try one more time :-) I have plenty of UTF-8 named files and directories. It's UTF-8 all round, I don't use anything else, so I have no doubt the byte sequences are correct in the filesystem (I happen to

Hi, I am trying to upgrade Samba from 3.3.2 to 3.3.9 for Win7 compatibility issue. It is running on Redhat 9.0 (I've planned to upgrade to Centos 5.5 in a second setp) and without any ldap backend (tdbsam actually). As I have already done in the past for upgrading, I have done the following procedure : 1) Compile 3.3.9 . My configure option are : ./configure --with-acl-support

Hi all, [Please CC me in reply, I'm not subscribed] We have a weird situation on one of our shares, net rpc share allowedusers fails with NT_STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR. Normally the command is run with the password passed on the command-line. If we manually type the password or turn up the debug level, it works. If we turn up the debug output but direct the output to /dev/null or to a file, then

Hello all, I'm running samba server ?3.0.25b-1.el4_6.4 on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6). The server is set to be a part of the Windows AD domain. The domain name is IIS. In the /var/log/samba/wb-IIS.log I keep getting the messages similar to: [2008/03/23 09:01:01, 3] lib/charcnv.c:convert_string_internal(265) ? ? convert_string_internal: Conversion error:

There are definitely some files with some weird names- in an ssh session they don't even have regular characters. e.g -rw-rw---- 1 xxx xxx 114985112 Oct 31 14:39 ▒^t Not sure if that is related to problems though. The top command shows Memory: 12G phys mem, 343M free mem, 2048M total swap, 2048M free swap This is in the evening so should not be much load but I think
