hey all,
i'm having a problem creating foreign-language filenames under Samba 3.0
alpha 20 (on stock redhat 7.3). i would like to be able to open up the
share under win2k pro (english version), switch my language to Hebrew, and
type in a Hebrew filename. when i do this, the file shows up as the hebrew
name until i refresh it, at which point the characters are replaced by
question marks. (a ls in the directory on the linux box shows the same
thing - all ????'s) this seems like a unicode issue -- it works fine with
another win2k smb server. i thought samba 3.0 sent unicode over the wire by
default? anyways, here is the global section of my smb.conf:
[global]
security = share
encrypt passwords = yes
server string = samba3 (%v,%h)
load printers = no
log level = 5
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
guest account = pcguest
hosts allow = 10.0.0 192.168 localhost
password level = 2
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
share modes = yes
locking = yes
strict locking = yes
keepalive = 30
unicode = yes
unix charset = UTF8
dos charset = UCS-2LE
i have also tried dos charset = UTF-8 and it did the same thing..
any ideas?
thanks,
-drew
