Hmm,
I think you need to question where the " russian " files came from ?
( as you obvioulsy did not create them on solaris )
If I make a file on a Windows PC with a Swedish name such as
" räksmörgås " I have three Non-ascii characters in it. depending
on the character set
used on the PC these three characters will have interesting binary values.
A PC could use codepage 437 or codepage 850 or ISO8859-1 or
combination thereof on
different peripherals and so on.
When a PC filesystem is viewed from unix ( maybe by using some form of
SAMBA )
the binary value of the PC filename is usually not changed but just
represented in
whatever characterset is used on the UNIX box .
So I would not be suprised if a file with a cyrillic filename in Windows
is unrecognizable
when its transfered to UNIX and the binary value of the filename is
represented in
a different characterset ( like UTF-8 )
Historically even in Swedish , where only 5 characters are added to
US_ASCII ,
the people how designed all these stuff could not manage to place the same
additional character at the same binary value in the differernt character
sets.
I cant even begin to comprehend how bad it must be in cyrrilic
Anyway Solaris will probably never be able to guess what graphical
representation
was used for a string of bytes on a machine form another Arcithecture.
