But the problem occurs if smb.conf: - is not managed by debconf, - does not contain any "character" setting, Which is probably a very common situation among samba admins using debian. There should be a big warning during installation if these two condtions are met, suggesting that "unix charset" should be used if filenames contain accented chars. -- HIPPOLYTE: N'osez-vous confier ce secret à ma foi ?
