Hello,

I am having a problem with accented folder and win98.

the setup is
PDC (under NT) , a Linux Samba as a file server added to the domain 
(smbpasswd and winbind) and a W98 client
in any share, if i create a folder named "aaa" for exemple i can get in it.
but if i create a folder named "ééé" or any accented char i just can get 
in it. Windows Error : no such file or directory.
on the linux box the folder has been created proprely : ééé
on the W98 the name appears correct : ééé

now ... and here is the weird thing: if i change
security=domain
to
security=share
everything goes fine ... my problem is that i need to have security=domain.

With a W2000 client there is no problem, with chmod=777 same thing, with 
different user same thing....
the problem is not about code page or character set. i tried all of  them


Any Suggestion ?
