[Samba] non-English filenames (one more attempt)
Speaking of the low answer-to-question ratio, here's a question I posted a week ago but did not get a single answer. Please help me! Before posting, I've searched lots of docs (unsuccessfully), and the problem is critical for me. I have a Win98 machine with Russian file names. As suggested in many places, I put the following into smb.conf: client code page = 866 character set = KOI8-R preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes default case = upper case sensitive = yes Still, the filenames as viewed from Linux are unreadable (and files are unaccessible). For example, the Russian name of the "My documents" folder becomes "Н╚© Я╚╛:03c0~:0393:03b4", a mix of wrong characters and some hex codes preceded by ":". The system is Mandrake 8.2. Everywhere else Cyrillic letters show up fine, including a local fat32 partition, so this is not a problem with Cyrillic support. I have tried samba 2.2.3a and then 2.2.5, but the problem persists. Just in case, here's the line from fstab: //winbox/C /mnt/c smbfs uid=bulia,password=,user,defaults,fmask=0666 0 0 I tried to add iocharset=koi8-r to this fstab line (as I do for local fat32 partitions) but it didn't help. -- __ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] copying files to windows - permissions, time
I use Samba to access a Windows 98 box from linux. When I copy a file from linux to win98, there are two annoying problems: - it complains it cannot set permissions on the new file on windows - it should logically ignore all such errors (the FAT volumes mounted in fstab can have a "quiet" option for this, but it does not work for smbfs volumes). - the new file gets current date and time, instead of the original file's date and time. I've searched through manuals but found nothing about how to fix these annoyances.
