it does? How can it be worse than the previous default, which was
"ascii"

surely you needed to do that before for international chars?

it means that when a client sends us a unicode char we can store it
and fetch it back accurately from the filesystem. That means for
clients that do unicode (all Microsoft clients) Samba will "out of the
box" support all chars in many applications.

We still need the admin to configure the charset for those parts of
the protocol that are 8-bit, but at least we get the basics right.
