Yes

I didn't remember this, but it is very good we have it.
It is just a matter of making unix charset = LOCALE the default instead
of unix charset = utf8 and your problem is fixed.

Except that changing the default may really mess up servers where the
locale is wrong but it is not important as all file access happens
through samba.

But distributions can easily add unix charset = LOCALE in their default
smb.conf files.

Simo.
