Using 2.2.8a Is there anyway for samba to display special characters
such as ® in filenames?
We are trying to migrate to a samba file server instead of our win2k one and several files our users have have names with odd characters in them.
with samba 2.x you can either leave charset translation off, then all files will be saved in the codepage of the Windows clients or you can turn on charset translation ("character set" option). Turning this on gives the advantage, that you can see for example the files in iso8859-1, the drawback ist that you are limited to chracters which are part of iso8895-1 then, no other characters are possible.
The best way out is to use Samba3 which supports Unicode and with that you can have sane files names on the Linux server and support for all chracters at the same time.
