I've setup Samba as a PDC for my network. Everything works OK except for
Hebrew file names -- I just can't make it work. I tried following the
instructions in the Samba manual & in Iglu.org.il.
I added "client code page = 862" & "character set = ISO8859-8" to my
smb.conf, I had to use make_smbcodepage to create codepage.862 from
CP862.TXT in Samba's sources (for some reason I didn't have that
codepage in /etc/codepages) and also to use make_unicodemap to create
unicode_map.ISO9959-8 from CPISO8859-8.TXT in Samba's sources.
Samba seems to load the codepages (if I move any of the relevant
codepage files from /etc/codepages smbstatus says Samba failed to load
the client codepage), but when I try to copy a file with a Hebrew
filename I get weired results -- some letters become "N", some become
".", if I create a new file named New Text Document and rename it to a
Hebrew filename with X letters, it gets renamed to the first X letters
in "New Text Document" (i.e -- "???" becomes "New").
My client is Windows 2K Pro.

What could be the cause of this? Is it a problem with my Samba
configuration, my codepages (is there a place I can download them
from?), my Win2K configuration?

Thanks.
