Hi, I' m not very happy with Samba3 as I have very heavy problems with filenames containing umlaut characters.
I have installed a new Debian 3 server for a client with Samba 3.0.1 (Debian packages), and copied over the data from a SuSE 6.4 (Samba 2.2.8a) system by mounting the hard disk into the new system. Now, I cannot access the files and directories with umlaut characters anymore. I understand that Samba3 talks Unicode, but it should be possible to access the files to let rename them. The only thing I can do is to rename file file with a terminal access. And there seem to be differences between Windows 98 and Windows 2000 clients. I have a file called "Lärm.MDB" (I cannot change the name because it's hard coded in an Access program). I have renamed this file with my shell access to "Laerm.MDB", and then tried to rename it to "Lärm.MDB" again with a Windows 98 workstation. This rename was successful, but the access was denied after. Only a rename made on a W2K machine let access this file from the Win98 machine. IMHO it would be very important to have a "compatibility mode" that works as Samba 2. I have tried different settings between unix charset and dos charset with CP850, ASCII and UTF-8, but none solved my problem. Thank you in advance for any help!
