Perhaps this is a problem with the different character sets (Unix, Windows Codepages). Try to set these options in your smb.conf character set = iso8859-1 (this char set will be used on the server) client code page = 850 (this char set will be used for the clients) I've used the Latin-1 (iso8859-1) char set and the European code page (850). greetings Florian Rauh -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
