Re: [Samba] chinese characters
I upgraded to version Version 3.0.7-1.2sme01. It seems to still not work, but noting what you say about leaving it as default, I see that I have a line : " unix charset = ISO8859-1 " Should I just remove that line? Also, I seemed to lose my printers (as when viewed from XP clients - works ok from 'lp'). Any ideas why that would be, and how to get them back again? Max.

Is SAMBA not supposed to work in China? you should be using samba 3 and you should leave unix charset at default (utf8). Then you can create filenames whatever you want. You might need to convert existing filenames if you have those from your old unix charset to utf8 for example with convmv.

Re: [Samba] chinese characters
Thanks! Sounds like a plan to me :) OK, I guess it just fits in nicely with my geek character to always upgrade to the latest s/w :D ... which I often have to fight with production servers :( Max.

Re: [Samba] chinese characters
Hello again,
This is causing my users a lot of pain. Is SAMBA not supposed to work in
China?
Is there a better place to ask this question? Did I not give enough
information?
I am feeling the pressure to move back to MS Windows, but I'd rather not
give MS any more money.
Please advise...
Max.

Hi,
I am using SME server 6.0 which has samba preconfigured on it. We
upgraded from MS Windows 2000 server.
I am using the server in China and so many of the users wish to create
files with Chinese characters in their names.
File names with Chinese characters seem to cause all sorts of problems.
They have trouble creating them, and files which are copied off backup
(from the W2K system) seem to stop them from logging in (because they
cannot be copied off the server).
Can someone point me at any resources for debugging this sort of problem?
I have been to the SME forums but they haven't been any help - the only
thing was a mention of a couple of parameters ('character set' should be
commented out, and 'client code page' set to 936) in the smb.conf file
(as per the man page).
Is there anything else I need to do? Is there anywhere that explains how
this is supposed to work. How do I use the server with computers using
different 'code pages', as reported by the dos command chcp?
Thanks for any help.
Max.
