[newbie] Problems with accents.
hi guys.
I using Mandrake 10.0 to serve about 50 win98
clients with Samba.
My problem is:
any file or directory created by clients, that have
accents (' ~" ` ^), in the Linux (and just in the Linux server) I can't see the
name correctly... I see strange characters instead...
I need to make backups, from Linux server, so I
need to resolve this, cause the files will be stored with strange
characters...
Maybe some problem with Samba, but I don't
know...
Someone have a clue ?
Thank you
Flávio Henrique
Re: [newbie] Problems with accents.
Open /etc/samba/smb.conf and uncomment the lines relative to
internationalization. Here's how my look like after the change:
# Enabling internationalization:
# you can match a Windows code page with a UNIX character set.
# Windows: 437 (US), 737 (GREEK), 850 (Latin1 - Western European),
# 852 (Eastern Eu.), 861 (Icelandic), 932 (Cyrillic - Russian),
# 936 (Japanese - Shift-JIS), 936 (Simpl. Chinese), 949 (Korean Hangul),
# 950 (Trad. Chin.).
# UNIX: ISO8859-1 (Western European), ISO8859-2 (Eastern Eu.),
# ISO8859-5 (Russian Cyrillic), KOI8-R (Alt-Russ. Cyril.)
# This is an example for french users:
dos charset = 850
unix charset = ISO8859-1
By default (i.e. after installation) the last two lines are commented
out, just uncomment them and restart the samba server.

Re: [newbie] Problems with accents.
Re-reading better your mail, I see your problem is in the server, not in
the Windows clients. I am not sure my suggestion does the trick, sorry.
