Hi,
this is my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = burse
server string = "Roland (116)"
netbios name = roland
interfaces = eth0
bind interfaces only = yes
local master = no
protocol = NT1
security = share
null passwords = yes
encrypt passwords = yes
wins proxy = no
private dir = /var/run/samba-burse
pid directory = /var/run/samba-burse
socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=131072 SO_RCVBUF=131072
preserve case = yes
create mode = 644
getwd cache = yes
follow symlinks = yes
unix charset = UTF8
[pub]
path = /export/pub
comment = Öffentliches Verzeichnis
browseable = yes
[scratch]
path = /export/scratch
comment = Lese- und Schreibrechte für alle
[ydkj]
path = /export/pub/software/i386-win32-bin/spiele/ydkj
comment = You Don't Know Jack
# EOF
And this is what other people see:
Domain=[BURSE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
pub Disk Lese- und Schreibrechte fYou Don't Know Jack
scratch Disk Lese- und Schreibrechte fYou Don't Know Jack
ydkj Disk You Don't Know Jack
IPC$ IPC IPC Service ("Roland (116)")
ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service ("Roland (116)")
# EOF
Please explain how these strange descriptions for "pub" and "scratch"
are constructed. I also tried to write the descriptions in unicode or with the
\xDF notation, but nothing worked as I wanted it to.
Roland
