Illegal filename characters

[Rod Evans]

Does anyone have a solution for the problem of file and directory names
containing characters which are OK in DOS/Windows but illegal (or at least
unwise) in Unix?
I have Windows clients who have written directory names containing "$"
characters to Samba shares on a Solaris box. 
This is fine for the clients, but plays havoc with Solaris programs 
needing to access the files, eg. backups using ufsdump crash in Pass II
(checking directories).
This must be a common problem on Samba servers, what's the solution?

Rod.
