Can you show us examples? Using e.g. 'ls -l --show-control-chars'?
Can you still run the older samba and verify that it works?

What do you mean by 'all'? What did you change, to what, and where?
Specifically, did you try in smb.conf playing with 'unix charset' and
'dos charset'? With what values? Can you try
dos charset = cp862
unix charset = iso8859-8
(note that I did not try this)?

How do they look in Unix? If they are utf-8, I would think (and test
and backup well before really trying) about finding out what charset
your current files are encoded and renaming all of them. utf-8 is
probably better than keeping iso8859-8 or whatever it was.
