[Samba] filename problem

[Bernd Wölfel]

strange...
just tried it with servers win2k,samba 2.2.3a, samba 2.2.6 and clients
2kpro sp3, xp sp1 (all german edition)

under my computer I see the natwork drive as "blabla" on server xyz(z)
but as soon as i drag the share to the desktop the " charcters are
automagically removed

my smb.conf
says
character set = ISO8859-15 (but I think this has nothing to do with the
problem)

which client operating system are you using?

  I got problem with filenames. Some info on my configuration
	Samba 2.2.6
	client code page=852
	character set=ISO8859-2


  When serving files with " character, example:

	user on "server" (H).lnk


(standard link to home drive). Windows 2000 sees something
like

	user~x%

It is even worse when such file is located in user profile, 
which makes 
it impossible to save user profile to samba server.
Coping is possible only from windows to samba (filename is preserved) 
but coping back fails besause windows see different filename.
