I have had similar problems when migrating a machine from RH72 to FC2. You have to set the unix charset to utf, and also, maybe you have to change the enconding of the filenames. I use a little utility called conmvm.....

I am unable to properly view ISO8859-15 characters (typicaly characters with accent such as é, è, à...) from filenames on a samba server using fedora core 3. After spending hours on it, I have been unable to find a solution. Any help from you would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the description of my configuration:
I have 3 machines running: - one server with fc3 - one PC "PC1" with fc3 - one PC "PC2" with XP
The server runs samba 3.0.8-0.pre1.3 with the following /etc/samba/smb.conf file:
======================== # Global parameters [global] unix charset = ISO8859-15 display charset = ISO8859-15 workgroup = MYGROUP netbios name = SAMBA server string = Samba Server log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 1000 unix extensions = No load printers = No hosts allow = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.0. hosts deny = all
[homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No ========================
On both the server and PC1 the /etc/sysconfig/i18n file is set like this:
========== LANG="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" SUPPORTED="fr_FR.ISO8859-15:fr_FR:fr" SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" ==========
On PC1, I mount the samba file at start-up with the following line in the /etc/fstab :
//192.168.0.4/bg /mnt/serveur cifs rw,uid=bgirin,credentials=/etc/samba/pwd_bg 0 0
The mounting works fine and from PC1 I can access the files on the server except that any filename from the server containing non-English characters (such as é, è, à...) won't display correctly on PC1.
I have not such a problem when I access the same files using PC2 (under XP). And before using fc3, I was running RH9 on both PC1 & server and did not have such problem.
I have done a large number of tests and was not able to find a solution. If you have any idea, please let me know !
