Re: [expert] smbmount error

This is related to Codepage translation so if the drive you mount holds files 
with names that doesn't have foreign language characters in them you 
should'nt have any problem.. You can test it by creating a file with a name 
like testæøå on the mounted drive.

 OKAY, maybe I am on a toot but I have not experienced any difficulty
 with mounting win2000 shares. I am using kernel 2.4.18-6mdk. I am using
   samba 2.2.3a-10mdk. What gives? Shit, if you guys need a patch, I want
 one too

If'n it ain't broke - don't fix it.

This patch was purely for smbfs between systems with different
codepages, and you'd most likely not see it unless you were running
Samba servers with different codepage settings or Windows boxen with
different locales set.

Some of us got the snot kicked out of us by this bug, and were very
happy to see .7mdk arrive to save the day.

 I tried this both with a samba share on a remote machine and a share on a
 winxp machine.

 Machine info is:

 processor: athlon
 mandrake version:Mandrake Linux release 8.2 (Bluebird) for i586

 if you need more info i'll be happy to supply this for you.
