Hello, I've had nearly the same problem. I've fixed the character mapping with the following entries in the smb.conf ([global] section): 8<-------------------------- dos charset = 850 unix charset = ISO8859-15 8<--------------------------
but you have to determine which charset your unix file system is really using, maybe another one could help you to determine *shame*, I've forgotten how I was doing that :-( I also run into problems with umlauts (without samba) using jfs, so I switched to xfs and I'm happy with it. but I think there is no way to avoid renaming of "scrambled" files/directories. manfred Am Mittwoch, 21.
