There is a development issue after the preamble to set the scene. Whilst testing 5.6b7 I realised that it now supports Japanese filenames correctly via samba, if smb.conf is set up for this. client code page 932 coding system EUC character set should be blank. Setting the coding system seems to be a black art as all the following could be correct: EUC, SJIS, HEX, UTF8 On my test server, and with my selection of Japanese files, EUC gave the correct results. I haven't noticed any adverse effects from making these changes.. yet. (The actual settings of these values are irrelevant for the real development issue here) For testing it was easiest to directly edit /etc/smb.conf but now to implement it correctly. I first thought to template it with the new values put into the template-custom fragments. Then I saw that the current templates read codepage and characterset from the configuration file, setting the actual values in the configuration is a good idea. A custom template is still needed for the coding system, but this would basically copy character set for example. Looking at the configuration file there is no entry for these settings, and I cannot see anywhere in the Server Manager to set them. Have I missed something? Does anybody already have a Samba Server Manager Panel ? - as this appears to be what the template fragments are enabling. (I have searched both the forums and this list, but I may have missed it) I think that I should be able to work out how to write a panel to set these values, if this has not already been done. As it is late on Christmas Eve here in England I won't be able to start this until after the festivities have subsided.
