I am new to Linux and Samba, but I have resently
started experimenting by installing a Mandrake 9.0 on an old PC. I am trying to
use this as a file server accessible from my Window 98 SE PC.
So far I have managed to install Samba and the
Linux PC is visible in the Windows Network Neighborhood, but files can not be
accessed. I think this is a password issue, that I can solve by reading a bit
and setting up the right users on the Linux box. i will return if this problem
persists.
BUT, The odd thing that is the issue of this mail
is, that when I browse on the Linux box to see the files on the Windows PC, I
can see the shares, folders and files, but in all filenames and foldernames
the first letter is missing!
Obviously I can not access a folder when I click on
it, except if I correct the foldername in the browser by adding the missing
character.
The browser I am using on the Linux box is the
Konqueror browser from the KDE environment in the Mandrake
distribution.
I have searched for help on the web without any
luck! Does anyone have a clue as to what could be the reason for
this?
I have tried "preserve case", "client code age" and
"character set" setting and managed to get the Scandinavian letters correct, but
this does not alter the fact that the first letter in all names are
missing.
Any hint would be appreciated!
