[Samba] Hungarian codepage problem using smbmount

[László Miklós]

Dear Samba Developers, Dear Urban,

This was my original letter. I hope you get it correctly this time.
Maybe it was too big, now I reduced the size of this letter.

My goal is to make a Linux fileserver up and running with automatic
archiving functionality in a mixed Windows 2000 - Linux network and
since the beginning of February I could not solve my problem, so I 
write to you hoping that you can give me a hint.

System details:
FILE SERVER:
Linux Mandrake 8.1
Kernel 2.4.8-26
Samba 2.2.3a

5 WORKSTATIONS:
Windows 2000 SP2 HUN
TCP/IP Windows Network

I'm facing serious problems while attempting to mount Windows 2000 HUN
shared folders with Hungarian characters in it. The codepage is 852 and
the winzipped file test.zip contains and example shared folder which
cannot be used under Linux, giving me an error message:
 You do not have enough permissions to read 
 file:/mnt/winmentes1/aktuam/Fd'terv_
This is while attempting to open the folder named: "Főterv_Ábrák_Ű1"

I'm using the smbmount command to mount Windows shared folders, see the
crontab file here attached.
I also attached the smb.conf file from the Linux machine for your
information.

The most important thing is that there is no difference when using the
iocharset and codepage options or when there is no such option at all or
when I used ISO8859-1 and cp850 instead of ISO8859-2 and cp852. Why is
this? Maybe the codepage files are in a wrong directory on my Linux
system? Now they can be found under /var/lib/samba/codepages/

It is interesting that files containing hungarian characters shared
under Linux can be perfectly well opened, copied and manipulated
remotely using a Windows 2000 machine. So the Samba server is OK, only
the client is not working as needed.

Thanks in advance for your help,
